The thickness of the bank is 7'- 8' and the
interior diameter of the circle 32'. The
position of the entrance is not evident.
Standing Stone Houstry School 69.
Situated on the moor some 50 yds [yards] SE [South East]
of Houstry School is a tall standing stone.
It is a slab 8' in height, 2'.5" in breadth
and 1'.5" in thickness. It is pointed to the
upper extremity and faces E and W [East and West].
As we rode homeward across the burn
of Houstry I espied a cairn of which I
have no note.
Cairn Houstry.
On the right bank of the burn of Houstry
about 1/4 m. [mile] WNW. [West North West] of Cuag and about 150
yds. [yards] back from the burn are the remains
of a chambered cairn. Its diameter is
some 50'. At 17' in from the S. [South] side
the tops of two large crest slabs 2'.8" apart are visible
above the ruins and some 4'.6" beyond them
the head of another protrudes. Though
the cairn is considerably delapidated
there is no evidence that the chamber
has been cleared out.
Cairn Chamber (unnoted)
At the lower end of an enclosed park
adjacent to a croft between the road
& the Houstry burn at Achnagoul
are six large upright slabs
