lower end of the hollow are three small cairns
of 12’ diameter & 1’ to 1 1/2’ of height.
The Bught Fell which lies to the Westward
of Garvilland Farm consists of a main hill rising to a height of 650’ and number
of rocky hillocks with intervening hollows
at its base on the S. [South] and SE. [South East]. The name it
bears is derived from the “bughts” or small
pens into which, in former times, the ewes
were driven to be milked and with this
practice doubtless many of the ruins on
the fell are connected.
On a low shoulder of the hill towards the
SE. [South East] and about 100' below the summit is
a cairn like heap of stones, circular, with
a depression in the centre, and measuring
over all 12' in diameter. It has probably
been a hut and seems to have been entered
from the S. [South].
On either side of a shallow cleugh
which trends SSW. [South South West] from the summit
lie a number of small low cairn-like
heaps of stone placed for the most part
by the sides of the hollow. Several of
these are clearly rcognisable as the ruins
of small circular huts. The average
diameter over all is 12'. At the lower end
