On the moor about 3/4 NW. [North West] of Barlure and to
the W. [West] of the lower end of an old enclosure are
the remains of two small cairns almost reduced
to ground level and probably excavated. They
have measured some 18' in diameter
To the Westward are the remains of several
small circular huts, one of them built in the
thickness of an old enclosing wall, and
some cairn-like mounds of small diameter

Cairn Kilfedar (16)
Some 300 yds [yards] ENE. [East North East] of Kilfedar at the lower end
of a grass park the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] marks a cairn.
It has been reduced to an elevation of from
2' to 3' and thereafter used as a dumping
ground for stones gathered from the fields
to such an extent that the character of the
construction is barely recognisable and
its dimensions not obtainable with ac:
:curacy. It has seemingly measured
some 50' - 60' in diameter.
This has been a glorious day. In the car
and on foot I covered much ground but
saw little worth recording. So far the
antiquities of this county are very disappointing.

27th May.
Wrote notes all morning. After lunch
bicycled to Crouse & took another photo
of the holed stone. Took a cross road
