Gledenholm
cup shaped hollow
Close to the dyke which separates the
strip of wood to the South West of Gledenholm
from the moorland and some 350 yds. [yards]
S. [South] of a long wood running from SW. [South West] to N.E. [North East] is a
curious cup shaped hollow 2 ft. [feet] in depth and
7 ft. [feet] in diameter which appears to be built
around the interior. I don't think this is an
ancient monument but I am at a loss to guess
what purpose it served.

Gledenholm
Sm. [Small] cairns & hut circles
3 May. 1913
Another small group of hut circles and
cairns lies on rough pasture about 1/4 mile
SSW [South South West] of Gledenholm.
A hopelessly wet day. Wrote up my notes
all forenoon & in the afternoon went to
Capenoch to pass the week-end with the
Gladstones.

5th May 1913.
Callander came from Dumfries in a
car and met me. Among my letters was one
from Mr. MacKinnon Wood, Secretary for Scotland,
offering me the post of Director of the National
Museum of Antiquities in Edinburgh.

Penpont Par. [Parish] Grennan Hill
Fort.
On a shoulder of Grennan Hill overlooking

altitude of some 500ft. [feet] above sea level.
The actual site is a rocky hillock
