Camster Lodge O.S. [Ordnance Survey] Tumuli (62)
Above the bank on the W. [West] of the Camster
Road & just to the N. [North] of the plantation at
Camster Lodge is a hut circle. It is circular
in form with an interior diameter of 26', a
bank of turf some 8' in width now of low elevation,
and an entrance from the E. [East] of indefinite width.
To the S. [South] within the wood occupying slight
hillocks are the ruins of other constructions
which have probably been sheiling bothies.
At 4.0 Mr. Egerton called for me with his
car and took me down to Navidale. The
road is excessively hilly the worst gradient
that on Berriedale Hill being 1 in 9. The
emergency roads for runaways and the
aggregation of sign posts must strike terror
at times into the hearts of nervous drivers.
Langwell is a cluster of small houses
standing high at the end of the ridge
between the Langwell and Berriedale
waters. The valley of the former running
up to the picturesque mass of Morven
is well timbered along its steep banks and
is not devoid of good pasturage on
the haugh & where it widens out.
