A small staircase in the thickness of the wall
at the SE. [South East] angle has connected the basement with
the hall above. The basement is vaulted.
To the Northward of the tower lay a small courtyard
with buildings on the N. [North] side. Giving access to this
courtyard from the W. [West] is a round arched
gateway with continuous mouldings much worn away on the
jambs and arch. The tower probably
dates from the latter half of the 16th century.

Chapel. (1)
About 140 yds. [yards] N. [North] of the tower of Brims are the remains
of a mortuary chapel or mausoleum. It measures
over all 28' x 24' with walls 3' in thickness.
The entrance is by a doorway with
moulded jambs & lintel from the E. [East] end. The
interior is vaulted and is lighted by a small
square aperture in the W. [West] wall. It
seems to me to be a 17th century structure &
of no interest.

Foundations (unnoted)
At the edge of the bank above the rocks
about 1/2 m. [mile] E. [East] of Mains of Brims there are
exposed the remains of what appears to be
an early structure. The plan is indefinite
but the surface mounds suggest an oblong
building with rounded ends.

About 1 1/4 m. [miles] E. [East] of Mains of Brims is a
long promontory rock lying parallel
