the ruined state of the fort will admit.

Carsphairn Craigengillan Cairn. (9)
On the crest of the moorland as it rises up
to the Westward from the Ken and about
3/4 m. [mile] WSW. [West South West] of Craigengillan is a large circular
cairn over the two of which two walls meeting at
right angles have been erected as a sheep shelter.
It measures in diameter 77' from N. [North] to S. [South] by
82' from E. [East] to W. [West] and in elevation about 10'.
The outline is marked at base by large
rounded boulders contrasting with angular
fragments of stone which strew the surface.

Carsphairn Nether Holm Dalquahairn (5) (site)
Enclosed by a wall and planted with
trees on the low lying ground between Nether
Holm of Dalquahairn and the Ken are the
remains of a large circular cairn which
has measured in diameter some 84', consisting
of a ring of loose stone around the circum:
:ference. An oblong depression near the
centre possibly marks the position of a
cist which has long since been opened

Dalry Par. [Parish] Cairn Bridgemark Hill
On the high ground 1 m. [mile] SE. [South East] of the
High Bridge of Ken is the site of a small
cairn which has had a diameter of about 36'.
I omitted to examine the or
"supposed" fort marked on the O.S. [Ordnance Survey]. I may
possibly get back to the hill later on.

[Opposite page - text inserted] Mr. Coles reports that not one stone of this fort
on Bridgemark Hill remains. (See Antiquaries
1892 p. [page] 165)
