Some 30 yds. [yards] N. [North] of the circle where a "tumulus" is
marked on the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] map is a cairn elliptical
in outline measuring about 60' x 38' with its
longest axis ENE. and WSW. [East North East & West South West]. About 40' from
the N. [North] end and 18' from the E [East] side is a stone cist
formed of 4 large slabs, the covering slab being
amissing. It lies in the direction of the cairn
and is interiorly 3'.5" long x 3'.1" broad.

On the W. [West] side of the Cumailie Burn about 1/2 m. [mile]
NNW. [North North West] of Culmailie is a well preserved hut circle
overgrown with brackens. The outline of the
bank on the interior is well defined with large
flat faced boulders set on end at irregular
intervals. It is 4'.6" across except on either side
of the entrance where it expands to 7'. The
width of the entrance is about 1'.10" and it opens to the S. [South]. The diameter
of the interior is about 29'.6" x 30'. Two or
three small cairns lie in the immediate vicinity
and a short distance to the NW [North West] there are
about a dozen. About a mile up the
