boulders. Some 20' N. [North] of the first cairn

is a mound about 5' high and 19' in diameter
from the slope of which some large stones protrude.
It is probably another cairn.
Some 40 yds. [yards] W. [West] of the first cairn is another
natural mound with a cairn on the top of it,
measuring 27' in diameter and having an outline of contiguous boulders. It appears
to have been excavated but no cist is visible. It
is overgrown with grass.

[Sketch inserted here]

In the haugh beside the Brora
to the SSE [South South East] of Sciberscross house
are the remains of several
constructions and an
ancient burying ground.
No stones with any symbols are
visible in the latter. The haugh
has all been under cultivation. About 50' from
the river is a circular enclosure evidently for
sheep or cattle which I have noted as it shows
an arm projected past the entrance as a
protection from storms. This is similar to
that observed on the circle at Brae (p. [page] __)
and it is possible in that case that it was a
secondary building to adapt the original for a
sheep fold.
