reduced to ground level and both probably
explored. The most northerly has measured some
37' in diameter and the other 34'.

Cairn (O.S. [Ordnance Survey] Ring) (2)
On the right bank of the Cross Water of Luce
about 1/2 m. [mile] S. [South] by W. [West] Pultadie are the remains
of a large cairn almost reduced to ground level
with a diameter of 57'. There is no cist exposed.
Some 80' W. [West] of the last where the slope of the
hill runs out into the low lying ground by the
river is a cairn for the most part overgrown
with grass and heather measuring in diameter
36' and in greatest elevation 6'. Though it
has been quarried for stones to a small extent
on the NW. [North West] it has not been excavated.

Cairn Barlure (20)
About 200 yds. [yards] N. [North] of the farm house of Bar:
:lure at the upper side of an old grass
park is a cairn which has been much
quarried for stones but is now overgrown
with grass, measuring in diameter about 48'
and in elevation 4' - 5'. It does not show signs
of having been excavated.
Proceeding NW. [North West] towards Kilfedar and about
1/4 m. [mile] from Barlure, at the top of a field
to the E. [East] of a strip of plantation a low
heap of stones seems to mark the site of
another cairn with a diameter of 24'.
