that there has been some building in the con:

block has been reversed) the N [North] point being shown as W. [West.)

confused by the cutting of drains.

4th Augt [August] (contd. [continued] from p. [page] 92) Dalry.
Dalry Church. In the W. [West] window of the
Kenmure burial vault is an iron grille
formed of 7 horizontal and 4 vertical bars
interlocked in the manner customary in the
iron "yelts" of towers.
Lying beside the path to the church is a large
rudely fashioned oval block of whinstone measuring
some 2'.7" in length by 1'.11" in breadth and
13" in depth with a hollow on the top
roughly circular measuring in diameter 16" x 15"
and 5" in depth and somewhat conical
in section. This is said to be a font but
the designation is open to doubt.
There are no tombstones of any particular
interest in the churchyard.

Mote of Dalry
Immediately to the N. [North] of the church at the
village of Dalry there stands on the top of the E. [East] bank of the Water of Ken a large & important
mote hill. The ground dips slightly towards
the NW [North West] so that the mound is highest
in that direction and there it rises to an
elevation of 24' while on the S. [South] its height is 15'
