[Parish] of Ceres Plan 11C Trace 6[Quotation] The Jougs are fixed in the wall of the "weigh house" of Ceres, and are said to have been placed there by the superior of the barony during the feudal period - the tradition of the locality makes them at least 200 years old - The Weigh House is a very old building & it is probable that they were appended to it soon after its erection.
