20th Sept. [September]. The Treasury have allowed me to
engage assistance at the rate of 25/- [£1.5.0] a week
so I have procured a stout youth today.
Trained to Kildonan with Serjeantson.

[Margin] O.S. [Ordnance Survey] 8

On the left bank of the Allt a Choire Mhoir
about a mile above its junction with the Helmsdale
near Killournan on the S. [South] side of the strath,
are a number of circular enclosures.
No. 1 which is situated about 3/4 m. [mile] up the glen and
some 200 yds. [yards] back from the burn is ill defined.
It has a wide entrance to the E. [East] and has probably
been for cattle.
The second situated several hundred yards higher
up the ridge may be entirely a sheep or cattle
fold but is not modern. It consists of a

[Sketch inserted]

circular enclosure of 25' Interior
diameter entering from ENE [East North East]
through an entrance 5' wide.
6' to W [West] of entrance is an
opening into an oval en:
:closure 23' long x 16' broad.
The E [East] bank of the entrance
to the main circle is prolonged
towards the N. [North] for about
60' and thereafter turns Eastward and forms a
small rectangular enclosure some 45' across.
