partial circle of boulders protruding some
14" to 18" above the turf and of somewhat similar
length. The diameter of the interior is 12'
and there appears to have been an entrance
from the S. [South] I don't know what this
has been. (Unnoted)

[Margin] Broch
Gersa
(21)

Situated in an arable field some 250 yds. [yards]
E. [East] of Gersa farm is a grass covered
mound surmounted by a small modern
cairn of flat stones. There are no stones
visible on the surface to indicate the
character of the mound but from those
of which the cairn is built it is presumably
a broch. The extent is quite indefinite.
The greatest elevation some 6'. From
the E [East] side a considerable amount of the
mound has been removed.
In returning called at Watten Inn to ar:
:range about a boat for fishing. There
Mr Smith showed me a curious old
swan necked brown jug with a handle in
form of two interwoven cords. I made a
drawing of it. It had a Persian or Indian
look about it. J. fished in Watten
Loch with Sheriff Dudley Stewart but caught
nothing. It has been a fine day.
