[Letter of Enquiry and Reply regarding Tumulus at Drumnod Wood presented as Enquiry - this page - Reply - Next Page.]

O.S.O. Edinburgh
25th August 1854
Plan 5B
Trace No. 5

The descriptive remarks of the stone circles in Drumnod wood is rather deficient of the necessary information, before it be written on Plan as an Antiquity it is necessary to supply some further information.

Are the stones standing on end?

What is the average height or probable weight of them, what is the size of them?

Are there any traditions in the neighbourhood respecting them?

Have you found any written account of them?

From what circumstance are they supposed to be druidical circles or temples?

Is there any probability that they might have been the remains of a sheepfold or some such enclosure?

Will you have the goodness to give whatever information you have learned concerning them and also from what authority you have it.
