above Allt-an-Duin is a heap of iron
slag which has been exposed by the action
of the burn. Some 2 1/2 m. [miles] further up are

Frithe. These I did not visit but
Mr. Sykes gave me the particulars of their

[Margin] Unnoted

On the low moorland to the S. [South] of the Frithe
and about 1/2 m. [mile] SW. [South West] of Fearnach is a cairn
with a diameter of 24' to 26' and a height
of 3' - 4'. It is overgrown with turf from
which a number of round stones protrude.

[Margin] O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 37.

On the SE. [South East] end of the Cnoc Dail-Chairn
and about 100' above the Frithe are the remains
of Fearnach broch. The wall of the
broch remains on the exterior to a height
of 7' to 8' and though on the interior it
is nowhere visible for more than 7' above
the ruins it no doubt exists for 4' or 5'
more. The entrance is from the W. [West]
through a passage 15'.6" long. At the
exterior it is 2'.6" wide. 5'.6" inwards is
a rebate for a door the passage widening
to 3'.11" and 3'.6" from the interior it again
slightly contracts to 3'.6" and retains that
width to the end. Five of the lintel
