Across the hill about the same level
and towards the Boreland burn are
many more mounds of the same character.

and just above the 700' contour line is
a circular cairn, much delapidated and
with a hollow in the centre as if it had
been excavated. It measures some 30'
in diameter and about 3' in elevation.
A number of small mounds lie around it.
About 100 yds [yards] higher up the slope are the
foundations of a third cairn, which has been

Hut Circle. O. S. [Ordnance Survey] "Fort."
On the W. [West] side of a small rill which flows

many round boulders have been used, is some
5' in thickness. There is a clearly defined
entrance towards the SE. [South East] some 2'.6" in width
and on the bank to the E [East] of it lies a large
