marked on the E. [East] and a lowering of the ridge
at the waist. Another cairn about 20 ft. [feet] N.W. [North West]
partially demolished measures about 22’ x 14’
and has its longest axis E. & W. [East & West].
Another small group lies between the road and
the river about 150 yds. [yards] S. [South] of the junction of the
Invercasley or Auchness Road. One at the S.W. [South West]
of the group is oval measuring 17’ x 8’.6”
with its longest axis E. & W. [East & West]. One a little
to the N. [North] of it is almost circular with a dia [diameter]
of 18’. Another to the S [South] measures 15’ x 9’.6” with
its longest axis S.W. and N.E. [South West and North East].
On a low knoll between two small burns
about 20 ft. [feet] back from the right bank of the

1 m. [mile] S. [South] of Lairg Church are the remains of
a stone circle. Four stones remain in

The N. [North] point appears to be between the two
