Full Description
NG82NW 1 80 28.
' I was told ... that in a moss on the hill above Balmacara House, there was a hilllock on which melted matter had been seen. This I visited ... but was disappointed on finding only a heap of loose stones of small size, without a vestige of a rampart, or anything indicating place of defence or a signal station. It appeared to me that the moss had been a lake, and this heap an island in it.'
G Mackenzie 1857.
