012 | This mound or Picts House is situated a little north of Hall of Durran and is a very large one. It was opened many years ago but never properly excavated and in consequence little can be said about it. Mr Durran, of Hall of Durran, says, that he removed a lot of the building in this "Pictish House" many years ago, and that he came upon a lot of what he supposed to be grave stones, and as soon as he made this discovery, he discontinued worKing at it; as he thought it might ne a Grave Yard in connection with the Old Chapel which stood near it. |

[Note Pict's House] -- I am of the opinion that
this is an old Grave Yard,
and not a "Pictish House".
Nothing however can be
learned about it, to lead
one to its proper origin.
