Ballentink (93)
At Ballentink about 200 yds [yards] S.W. [South West] of the road
bridge across the Burn of Houstry on a
grassy hillock are the foundations visible
beneath the turf of several circular enclosures
built with large stones. Towards the
SE. [South East] an entrance passage has been partially
exposed with a width of 2'.7" passing beneath
a large lintel and suggesting the entrance
to a broch. The dimensions and outline, how-
-ever, of such a structure are not evident
It is possible that the circular enclosures
are secondary constructions superim:
:posed on the ruin.

Ballentink. unnoted.
On a low mound about 120 yds [yards] to the W. [West]
are the indefinite foundations of some
structure which judging from the upright pillars
remaining has probably been a galleried
dwelling. The remains are very scanty.

Ballentink. (94)
About 1/4 m. [mile] NW. [North West] of the road bridge at
Ballentink in the cultivated land is a
grassy knoll on whose uneven surface
are apparent the foundations of numerous
compartments of a complex structure.
The protruding stones and slabs sug:
:gest that it has been of the galleried
type but its plan is quite indefinite
