Indeterminate Remains, Loch of Gruting.
The remains seen here, described on the OS map as those of a "cuml," consist merely of an irregular setting of large stones, laid edge to edge in the form of a horse-shoe with the open end towards the E., most of them having their broad faces horizontal. The enclosed area measures about 33 ft. by 25 ft., and the opening, which is plainly marked on each side by a stone set on end, is 20 ft. in width. The surface within has been entirely cleared of stones and is slightly hollow.
