trench on the W [West] side, 33'.6" on the NNE [North North East], 35'.6" on
the E [East] and about 25' at the SSW. [South South West] end where the
rock is exposed. Except for a short distance
at the S. [South] end the summit is overgrown with a
dense thicket of blackthorn rendering measure:
:ment of the whole impossible. as far as observable it is hollowed & appears to have been
divided into two main divisions by a bank or
wall which crosses it some 66' from the SSW [South South West] end
while at 36' from the same end a slight ridge
projecting from either side seems to indicate a
further subdivision. The greatest depth of the
concavity on the top is 6'. From the N. [North]
angle of the outer mound above the trench
a broad bank stretches towards the low-
lying marshy ground beyond in that direction
along the top of what seems to be an artificial
scarp. It is a pity that this interesting
mote hill is being allowed to be overgrown.

Culcaigrie.
In a wet hollow to the NE. [North East] of Trostrie Mote
a slight hillock forms the termination of the
ridge on which the former has been constructed.
It rises by an easy gradient from the S. [South]
and has a steep slope of 24' vertical height towards the N. [North] and
NE [North East]. At the top of the slope from the S. [South] there
is a more or less level and circular area
measuring some 23' in diameter breaking
