cliff facing the land above the intervening chasm
are the remains of a stone rampart or wall
83' in length & now of slight elevation. In rear of
it for a distance of 60' back there stretches a
grassy area beyond which jagged and irregular
the rocks extend to the sea. Except where
the neck of rock joins it to the mainland the
peninsula is washed by the waves all around.
Before returning to Logan I met the McDowalls at
the famous fish pond at Port Logan and saw the
cod taking limpets from the hand and allowing
their backs to be scratched as they lay on the top
of the water. This pond is a circular basin
some 20' deep in the rock with an aperture
at one side blocked by a dry stone barrier
so that the sea water can percolate through
without the fish escaping.

Mound at Logan House.
In the garden at Logan House is an
artificial mound some 7' to 10' high and
measuring 16' - 17' in diameter on the top.
Around the base there appears to be a narrow
terrace and hollows visible on the
surface of the lawn & paths adjacent
possible indicate the previous existence
of a ditch. The sides of the mound are steep
but it seems very small to be a mote.
