Moyle at Barnbarroch with the distinction that
there are no inner enclosures visible here.

Cairn Kirkconnell Moor .
On Kirkconnell Moor and under the shadow of
the hill-top known as Kirkconnell Towers which
rises to the W. [West] of it is a circular cairn measuring
in diameter about 48' and in elevation about 6'.
A passage in from one side and a concavity
near the centre show an attempt to excavate it
but there is no record of the result.
Some 30 yds. [yards] SE [South East] is a small cairn-like heap
of stones measuring about 12' in diameter &
adjacent to it another which has been ex:
:cavated.

Castle Hill Bar Bill.
Tongland.
The site of this fort is a rocky hillock a spur of the Bar Hill on the
E [East] side of the railway about 11/2 m. [miles] S. [South] of Tarff
Station. It is now such a perfect labyrinth
of aged thorns, brambles, etc . that detailed
observation is quite impossible. Mr. Coles
after frequent examination of it in 1893
describes it in the Proceedings of S.A. [Society Antiquaries (of Scotland)] for that
year p. [page] 150. & may be quoted.
I had S. out with me on bicycle all day. He is
interested & helpful. We went on to Kirkcudbright
& got the train home. Daily it looks like
rain but the longed for showers never come.
