no chamber off the entrance passage. At about
40' out from entrance is a wall encircling the
broch on the inner side of which are signs of
numerous secondary constructions.
About 1/4 m. [mile] NNE [North North East] of the broch at the head of a
gully which runs in a N. [North] Easterly direction near
the 1000' elevation is a cave which shows evidence
of human habitation. It is approached by a flight
of laid steps. A lofty gallery some 3' to 4' wide runs
inwards for a distance of about 20' when a narrow
passage turns sharply to the right and winds
inwards for an indefinite distance.

At Golspie Tower farm a few stones in front of a
farm cottage are all the remains of Golspie
Tower. The plan is not obtainable.
At the SE. [South East] corner of Ben Bhragie Wood
about 1/4 m. [mile] NE [North East] of Rhives is the denuded
chamber of a cairn. The cairn has been
entirely demolished but there are indications
that it had a diameter across the chamber
of about 60'. From its situation on a
slight rise it was probably circular.

[Sketch inserted]

The chamber has been
tripartite. The inner
compartment has measured
6'6" in length x about 9'6"
