The hollow, however, I consider to be natural.)

Stone Circle (remains of)
On slightly rising ground about 130 yds. [yards] due
E [East] of the stone circle and on the other side
of the road are three boulders set on end
in a line slightly curving which suggests that
they are the remains of another circle. A
distance of 2’.6” separates the two outer stones
from the central one. The highest stone is 4’
in height, some 3’ in breadth and 2’ in
thickness, the second stone is of somewhat
similar dimensions and the third about
one half the size of the others.
I made very complete measurements of
the large stone circle.
The weather has become very warm &
sunny. We caught some fish in the loch
between 8.0 and 9.0 p.m. and when fishing
heard the gr'r'rr' of the nightjar which I
never heard before. (This proved to be a snipe drumming)

10th May 1911
Derskelpin Moss. On a green hillock
at the end of a long ridge which projects

Old Luce.
Southward into Derskelpin Moss the O.S. [Ordnance Survey]
marks a fort. On the summit is a circular
enclosure with an interior diameter of 30’
and a wide entrance which appears to be
an old fold but there are no remains
