On the E. [East] side of the Gylable burn about 1/4 m. [mile]

diameter has been 31' and the thickness of
the wall 16'. No further details are observable.
There are no remains of outworks.

About 1/2 m. [mile] W. [West] of Craggie on the N. [North] side of
the glen are indistinct remains of one or
two hut circles.
