up and the broken metal lies on the site ready
for removal. No cist is, however, exposed. The
diameter has been about 45’.

In the corner of an arable field some 250 yds. [yards]
WSW. [West South West] of Culroy farm house is a mound which

height. It looks too well built for a cairn and
may be an old kiln. I must enquire from the
factor about it.

On the E. [East] side of the road that runs from
Glenluce to Tarf bridge and about 3/4 m. [mile] S. [South] of
Garvilland is a large cairn now for the
most part overgrown with grass but which
has been at one time much pillaged for stones.

7’ and its diameter 68’.

SE. [South East] slope of Benlaight and somewhat less than
