a ghillie at the inn, who knew the country
intimately. If such a stone exists, it does not
stand about 1 mile to the N. [North] of Oykell Bridge.
It is said to be about 15' high! Mr.
Mackenzie had only seen it in the distance
and probably mistook for a standing stone,
a stone, or pole erected on the slope of the
hill on the N. [North] side of the Oykell about 1 1/2 m. [miles]
above Oykell Bridge, for setting traps on!

At Linsidemore on a croft near the
middle of the township and some 40 yds. [yards]
N. [North] of the high road is a natural gravel
mound encircling which at a few feet
above its base is a setting of stones which
seems to be the remains of a stone circle.
The stones appear to have been continuous
Two or three pointed stones remain set with
their broad faces in line of the circumfer:
:ence but the majority of the stones are
boulders. The two largest stones remaining
in situ measure 3'.10" x 2'.10" and 3' x
2'.10" respectively. A quadrangular
block about 2' high placed in the centre
does not appear to be in situ. From
NE. [North East] running round by E [East] to SW. [South West] are the
remains of an outer circle of boulders.
