72. Creagan Reamhar, Bonarbridge.
At the S., end of Creagan Reamhar, about 400 yards N. of the croft of Druimban at Airdens, near the Peat Road, are two hut circles and a number of small mounds. The most westerly of the circles is of the simple oval form, being entered from the SE. through what appears to have been a wide entrance. Its interior dimensions are 26'x 31', and the enclosing bank is of stone and turf. The other enclosure, which lies to the E. of the Peat Road, is circular, with an interior diameter of some 30'. Its entrance is from the SE., and the bank is from 5' to 6' wide, formed of earth and stone. The level of the interior is slightly higher than that of the surrounding ground.
About 140 yards to the E. of the circle last described is a small group of·about half a dozen mounds. The most westerly of the group measures about 15' in diameter, is about 1’ high, and has its outline defined by large stones. One of the mounds lying with its longest axis NNW. and SSE. measures 23'x 13', and is from 2' to 3' in height; the others are from 16' to 18' in diameter and some 3' in height,
