Transcriber's notes
check Bellybought Hill - Descriptive Remarks - some words on line 9 not clear 'Ewes which deserving the ram'?Unclear initials/signature at end of last two sections.
The last section beginning 'Hill adopted as...' is written in the Situation column, but I think it is a continuation of the Descriptive remarks?
[Entry partially Scored Out/Incomplete] Rolling Cleugh - Other modes of Spelling & Authority... still have one entry, with two scored out below, but the Descriptive Remarks are crossed out - apart from the last line (Kettleton Burn Plan 22-7 -)
