Dalton Par. [Parish] Cairn
On an eminence rising from a ridge on
Dormont Moor, and about 1/2 mile West South West
of Holmain is a cairn with a diameter of
70 feet which has evidently been systematically
excavated. To the South of the centre a large
upright slab is partially exposed with a
breadth of 3 ft. [feet] 9 [inches] ins which has apparently
formed the end of a cist or chamber which
it is impossible to say in the present dilapidated
state of the cairn.
Fort. (site)
Rockhallhead.
The farm house and steading of Rockhall-
head evidently stands upon a fort, the
stony rampart of which cutting off the
termination of the ridge which forms the site
is still visible at one or two places on the
South and S East.
6 Oct. [October] 1912.
Stone Circles & Marjory's Cross (Remains of) Woodhead Dornoch

two granite boulders some 11 ft. [feet] 6 ins [inches] apart
the largest of which is some 3 feet in height
above ground.
