some 7' above the surrounding level, and 70' or
thereby from the E. [East] end there appear to be the
foundations beneath the turf of a large oblong
rectangular building too indefinite for
measurement.

Cally Mote
In a park some 3/4 m. [mile] NE. [North East] of Cally House and
at the edge of a natural banks which trends
obliquely towards a small stream is a
circular hillock, in form a truncated cone,
surrounded by a ditch 15' in width having a slight
mound above the counterscarp. Except for
a small gap on the SE. [South East] whence a hollow
leads up from the burn the cincture is complete.
From the bottom of the ditch the elevation of
the mound varies from 12' on the N. [North] to 16' on
the S. [South] and the summit, nearly a
true circle or slightly concave measures about 80' in diameter
A large split boulder some
2' in diameter lies with its flat surface
uppermost on the E [East] side of the summit
For some distance on the W. [West] side the
ditch has been cut through rock. The
mound is planted with trees and
is in places being damaged by
cattle.
