27th May 1910.
A disagreeable morning with a
wetting mist and a falling glass. Set off
on bicycles to visit the objects on the burn
of Acherole.

Watten Par. [Parish]
Broch
Banks of Watten
(13)

On the moor about 3/4 m. [mile] WSW. [West South West] of Banks
of Watten at the W [West] end of a low ridge is
a grassy mound. The number of flattish
stones exposed over its surface suggest

remains apart from the natural level of the
ridge is so indefinite that dimensions are
unobtainable.

400 yds. [yards] S.W. [South West] of the cottage. Its diameter
is some 30' to 32' and its elevation 3'. 6 to 4'.

measuring interiorly 14' x 10' and the latter
