The shell mounds yeilded not an atom of
pottery. After luncheon I bicycled to see
a hut circle noted on the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] maps beyond
Loch Laoghil Lodge. I found the spot where it
was indicated half way between the lodge and
the burn to the S. [South] of it but of the circle there
is barely a trace. There are a number of ruined
walls of enclosures in the vicinity but nowhere
did I see any sign of the ancient grave yard.

Tongue. O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 10.
Returning I visited the cairn between Loch
Craggie & Loch Laoghil. It is situated on
the S. [South] side of the ridge separating the two
lochs at its extreme E. [East] end and overlooking
Loch Laoghil which lies about 50 ft. [feet] directly
below it. It is circular with a diameter of
about 50 ft. [feet]. The outline is definitely marked
with large boulders (the largest over 2 ft. [feet] high)
laid contiguously point upwards. The cairn
is for the most part overgrown with heather
but towards the centre a good many stones
have been pulled out without however
disclosing any structure which, if such exists,
is probably deeper. The height of the cairn
is about 6 ft. [feet]. Along the top of a bank which
projects to the S.E. [South East] are 3 large boulders
set in a row - the first 2 ft. [feet] from the cairn
