On the rock on the floor of the outer compartment of the guard
chamber there lay some particles of iron entirely corroded.

24th July 1911.
Bicycled with Bryce to the cairn at Garvelland showing
the frontal semicircle; & made a plan & took photographs
which I had not been able to do before. We agreed that
the third cist was a secondary short cist not a part of
the original construction. In the afternoon we visited
the cairn at High Gillespie which we hope may be
excavated in the Autumn.

25th July
Wrote notes in morning & after lunch bicycled to Carscreuch.
The cairn marked on the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] is not worth noting. It
is a small construction & if it has been a cairn it has been
long ago cleared out!
The bee-hive well at Airyligg ford mentioned by Miss
Hamilton is quite a modern construction built with mortar.

About 1 m. [mile] WSW. [West South West] of Barlae farm, to the S. [South]
of Blairderry Moss and about ¼ m. [mile] N. [North] of the
railway is a short isolated ridge at the edge of
the flow. On its (?)NW [North West] face about 10' in elevation above the
level of the flow is a ring of stones with an
interior diameter of 12'. There is no entrance
visible, nor do the stones show any sign of
construction but if they have originally formed a wall
it has been but one stone thick & from 1' to 1'.6" high.
Some 30 yds. [yards] to the E [East] on the top of the ridge is a delapi:
:dated cairn-like heap of stones of low elevation
