to landward a wall of rock some 15' in height. In
rear of this are one or two small grassy plats,
the largest some 10' square, beyond which jagged
and irregular the rock dips to seaward. Across
the isthmus extending for some 70' there is a
hollow some 12' in width which appears to be natural across which
at 36' from the N [North] end
a roadway of stones some 7' in width has been
formed. The numerous blocks of stone lying on the
sides of the roadway and on the scarps of the
hollow indicate stone parapets or walls. The
approach across the hollow faces the perpendicular
rock beneath which it turns Northward and
passes behind it at the N. [North] side. To the South
ward across the head of the creek a grassy
hollow between the rocks leading towards the
approach appears to have been closed by cross
-walls at both ends.

On the W. [West] side of the Milton Burn about
100 yds. [yards] above where it enters the sea and
on the edge of a bank about 15' in height
are the indefinite remains of a small
circular or oval construction, possibly a hut circle,
measuring over all some 30' by 24' partially
broken away on the E. [East] side. Its longest
axis is from N. [North] by W. [West] to S [South] by E [East].
