Hut Circle &c unnoted.
On the slope of the hillside about 120 yds [yards] to the E [East] of the Lindowey
burn and 1/2 m. [mile] or thereby SW. [South West] of where it passes beneath
the road is a large oval enclosure measuring in:

axis E [East] and W [West]. In the interior are indications
of divisional walls but too indefinite to plan.

the position of the entrance is indeterminate.
Some 20' to the S. [South] are the remains of what
appears to have been a hut circle with an
interior diameter of about 15'. The wall is
much ruined; large boulders have been used in
its construction. Higher up the hill to the Westward
are the remains of old enclosing walls.
Close beside the hut circle I flushed a
nightjar and found on the bare brown
earth, with no attempt at a nest, two eggs.
I see these birds almost daily on the moors.

Lindowey Cairns. (17)
Near the source of the Lindowey burn about
1 m. [mile] from where it flows into the main water of
Luce are two cairns some [--] yds [yards] apart.
That to the SE. [South East] has been half removed but
shows a diameter of 57' and as regards
the remaining portion an elevation of about 4'.
Much of the surface stone has been recently
turned over but there is no indication that
the interment has been disturbed. Some
