Relics from Cogle broch kept at Cogle Farm --

The relics consist of
bones, shells, deer horn - remains of three vessels
of pottery, two of them of rather fine thin ware
with everted lips, numerous stone pounders,
rubbing stones, thin discs of shale, a fine bone
pin 4 1/2" in length which has been pierced at
the thick end where half of the "eye" remains
several deer tines which have been sharpened
etc. The broch was planned by Mr John
Nicholson and thereafter filled in for pre:
:servation. It occupies the stockyard
to the East of Cogle farm house and is now
recognisable as a low mound with an
elevation of some 2', overgrown with vegetation.
Mr Sutherland will write an account of
the excavation for the Society of Antiquaries
& such relics as I select will be sent to the
Museum for inspection & illustration.
By the time I had finished the inspection of
the relics and the site & had photographed
the objects at the farm it was getting
on 5. o'clock so we set off homewards
a four or five miles walk. No remains
of rotary querns were found in the
broch - only portions of large saddle querns.
