with no remains of a mound or rampart
around its edge but scarped for some 18' all round
with a declivity of 5'. Towards the NNW. [North North West] the outer
defences are not entirely obliterated and in
this direction the scarp merges into a level
space some 11' in width at the outer side of
which a slight swelling of the surface for
a breadth of about 38' indicates the previous
existence of a rampart spread by the plough.
Towards the SSE [South South East] from the foot of the scarp
the ground extends outwards for some 27'
on the level before falling away in the slope
of the hill.

Cairn Halferne (11) (Site)
On the summit of a hill about 1/2 m. [mile] N. [North] of
Halferne Farm are the remains of a cairn.
It has been a very large construction but it
has been quarried to such an extent that
the outline is quite indefinite. The interment
has, probably, been long since disturbed.

Cairn Halferne (11) (Site) Meikle Ernambrie. (12) (Site)
About 1/2 m. [mile] N. [North] by E. [East] of Meikle Ernambrie Farm
is a large circular cairn reduced to an
elevation of 1 1/2' to 2'. The outline is indefinite
but it appears to have measured about 96'
in diameter. There is no sign of a cist
or chamber, either, probably, having been long
ago removed.
