Mound, Quarsdale.

This turf-covered mound is situated a short distance above highwater mark at The Firth, near Quarsdale, in the Tumblin district of the parish. It has a diameter of about 41 ft., and rises to an average height of from 4 ft. 6 in. to 5 ft. It evidently contains a certain number of stones, a few of which, all comparatively small, can be seen projecting here and there among the grass on its sides. At some time or other the top has been dug into for a depth of 2 ft. over a space from 14 to 16 ft. square, but the hollow, too, is now covered with turf.
