circular cairn overgrown with grass and studded
with birch trees. Its diameter is about 50'; its
height 6' or thereby. Around its base is a kerb
of large contiguous boulders averaging about 1' in
height above ground and from 1 1/2' to 2' across.
On the top of the cairn is a slight circular depression
of about 7' diameter.
Some 60 yds. [yards] W. [West] is a small oval cairn measuring
some 17' x 8' with its longest axis NW. and SE. [North West and South East] and
a few feet to the NW. [North West] of it a natural mound with
probably a small circular cairn of some 16' dia. [diameter]
on top of it. A number of small cairns lie
in the vicinity of the large cairn.
Some 150 yds. [yards] WNW. [West North West] of the large cairn are the
remains of a circular construction of some 30'
interior diameter which appears to have had secondary
rectangular erections in the interior.
About 150 yds. [yards] W. [West] of the large cairn there seems
to be another with its longest axis E & W. [East & West], measuring
23' x 19'. Towards the NE. [North East] some large stones
are visible marking its outline.
Some 300 yds. [yards] E. [East] of the keeper's house at Brae
close by the road on the right bank of the river
is a hut circle with banks of earth & stone
some 7' thick. The entrance is from ESE [East South East]
and is 3' across. The interior diameter 30' x 32'.
