circular depression around the edge of which
stones are evident. It has an interior diameter
of about 36'.
Some 50 yds. [yards] to the E. [East] are three small conical
stony mounds each with a diameter of from
16' to 18' and an elevation of some 3'. One of
them appears to have been dug into but no
cist is exposed.
Mound (15)
Some 2/3 m. [mile] S. [South] of Dunnet Church on the E [East] side
of the road is a high sandy mound with
an elevation of 16' or 17' around the top of
which much stone is visible but no structure
exposed. The diameter of the area over which
the ruin is apparent is about 46'. The
character of the remains is quite indefinite.
This has been a lovely day. Nowhere I
have visited do the primula scottica and
Grass of Parnassus grow so abundantly
as on these Links. Some of the flower stalks
of the former were 4" or 5" high.

unnoted
