5th Augt [August] 1910.
A misty morning.
North Calder Broch (33)
In cultivated land about 1/2 m. [mile] to the W. [West] of North
Calder Farm is a grassy hillock on the sum:
:mit of which there has evidently stood a broch.
The hillock seems to some extent to be artificial
It has a diameter over all of about 146' and
an elevation of some 10' - 12'. No part of the
structure is visible but the portion of the
mound which seems to have contained the
tower has a diameter of about 70'.
Broch Framside (32)
At the edge of a cultivated field about 180 yds [yards]
to the E. [East] of the farm house of Framside is a
grassy knoll on the top of which has stood
a broch. It has an elevation of some 6' or
8' to what appears to be the base of the broch.
From the position occupied by the tower at
the NW. [North West] end the mound slopes gradually
away towards the SE. [South East]. No part of the
structure is visible but it appears to have
had a diameter of about 54'.
Broch S. [South] Achavarn (56)
About 130 yds. [yards] S. [South] of Achavarn on the E [East]
shore of Loch Calder is the site of a broch.
The structure which has measured some
62' in diameter has been almost entirely
removed. At some 4' or 5' from its base
is a low encircling bank or wall.
