interiorly about 10' x 6'. Its longest axis lies N & S. [North & South]
and the entrance, which is about 4' wide is from
the SE. [South East]. The enclosing bank is about 3'6" wide
and on the E. [East] side of the entrance is carried
forward for a distance of about 7'. The other
object seems also to have been a small enclosure.
About 1/3 m. [mile] E [East] of Salzcraggie Lodge above the
road and at the base of the hill is a small
group of 5 or 6 small cairns of ordinary type.
Adjoining them is a hutcircle the inner circumference
of which has been lined with large stones. The
interior diameter has been about 21' x 22' : the
bank about 6' thick: the entrance from ESE. [East South East].
The interior is overgrown with long heather.
Some 50' W. [West] is another overgrown with
heather and with no stones (or only one) visible in the bank
The interior diameter is 33' both ways. The entrance
passage is 9' long & 4' wide and is from the SE. [South East].
The bank is about 7' thick. This
has been a lovely day.
