Mote of Druchtag. Situated by the roadside a short distance
to the N. [North] of Kirk of Mochrum village is the mote of
Druchtag. The land slopes sharply to the road
and the mote has been erected at the edge
of the bank. Except towards the E [East] where it is
represented by a terrace on the face of the
slope a ditch some 25’ in width and 6’ to
8’ in depth below the top of the counterscarp
surrounds the construction which rises to
a height of about 21’ above it. The summit
which is flat measures 66’ in diameter.
At the E. [East] side is an irregular hollow, probably
due to excavation about the sides of which
some blocks of stone are exposed and
on the W [West] side are two small circular
depressions about 18” deep and 7’ to 8’ in
diameter. There are no indications of an
approach.
