Cults Mote (7)
In an arable field and about [--] N. [North] of Cults
farm is the site of Cults Mote. It has been
long under cultivation and is now recognisable
as a mere swelling on the surface of the
field about 3' in height, showing over its
surface many water worn cobble stones.

Old Luce Paved floor & site of Ancient Village Park (45 & 46) (omit)
Of the former object I saw not a trace but
to may well exist overgrown with whins and
grass. The so-called site of an ancient
village are a number of sandy hollows
a couple of feet in depth. On the surface
are to be seen a few fragments of bleached
bone which may be ancient but there
are also as many pieces of pottery essentially
modern. Even if an ancient kitchen
midden existed here the name on the
map is quite unwarranted & misleading

6th June 1911.
Still the weather continues gloriously

in weeks.
