from 12’ to 20’. On the N. [North] slope between
the summit and Eldrig loch is another
similar group.

[Margin] Omit Eldrig Loch

At the N. [North] end of the Eldrig Loch is a small island
on which numerous gulls were
nesting. I examined it from the shore but could
discern no artificial character about it.
There is no wood near but numerous snags
of pines are lying at the bottom of the loch
around the E [East] side.

Wood Cairn Eldrig Fell.
On the summit of Eldrig Fell, 120’ above
sea level is a large circular cairn, rather
dilapidated and surmounted by a surveyors
cairn. In diameter it measures 50’ and
in elevation 6’. There is no indication of its
having been excavated.
At the S. [South] end of the Fell prettily situated
with some trees about it is the little
farm house of Low Eldrig.

Cross slab Low Eldrig.
Formal the lintel of the back door of
the farm house is a slab bearing incised
on its face a rudely shaped Latin Cross
The extreme length of the cross as exposed, is 3’.4” but a
portion of the upper arm may be concealed by an
adjoining wall. The arms are 2” in length
from the point of intersection & an inch & quarter in breadth.
From end to end of the lateral arms
