SW. [South West] is a small rectangular enclosure 12' x 5'
probably secondary.

Rogart.
[Margin] O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 18.

On the NW [North West] end of a rocky peak which rises from
the E [East] side of a glen running Northwards on the
top of the steep slope behind the gamekeepers
house at E. [East] Kinnauld are the ruins of a broch.
It is situated at an elevation of about 400' and
though not visible from Strathfleet which
lies to the S. [South] of it, commands a view of
Loch Fleet and the hill country to the
W. [West]. It is much ruined but does not appear
to have been pillaged and if the debris was
cleared away the walls would be found
standing to a considerable height all round.
The interior diameter is 31': The entrance is
from the W. [West] through a passage 17' in length.
3' wide on the interior and 2'.9" at exterior.
Three of the covering slabs remain in situ but
the passage is choked with debris. At
9' from the outside on the N. [North] is a wall face at
right angles to the passage which appears
to have been the entrance to a chamber
measuring 8' from the passage to its
furthest end where another passage 3' long and
2' wide opens onto the interior courtyard.
At most the chamber is about 4'.9" wide
