merely a structureless mass of debris mostly small
angular stones the larger blocks having been
probably removed long ago for dykes. The
circle is continuous except across a hollow
on the N. [North] where for some reason, not evident,
the stones are no longer visible. The area en:
:closed measures about 105' from N [North] to S. [South] by
100' from E [East] to W. [West] and is singularly uneven
being traversed from N. [North] to S. [South] by a jagged mass of rock.
There is an indefinite suggestion of an entrance
near the centre of the S. [South] arc. The surrounding
wall appears to have been about 10' in thickness
and over most of its course there is apparent
a grass covered ridge on the inner face separated
from the mass of debris by a hollow some 3' in
width. The outer face is visible
at one spot on the S. [South] front. There is
no indication of a well but rushes are growing
freely in the hollow to the SW. [South West] of the rocky
central ridge. (Coles's plan seems fairly correct).

[Margin] Mote of Dunnance

This is a natural rocky hillock situated at
the S. [South] end of a wood about 1/4 m. [mile] S. [South] of Dunnance
and the same distance to the W. [West] of the road
from Laurieston to Ringford. It is very
steep on all sides except towards the W.SW. [West South West]
where at the base of an 8' slope a neck
