"Pratts Buchan" Mr. R. Porter Stuartfield |
021 | [Continued from page 68] "The village then consisted of between sixty and seventy small huts, from six to twelve feet square, irregularly huddled together. The walls were built of small stones, cemented with clay; the floors were paved with stones, and a number of small yards or gardens enclosed with dykes of the same material, were to be seen around it. As late as 1821, about a dozen of the huts were still standing, but now every vestage of this prehistoric village has been obliterated by the ploughshare." Pratts Buchan" P.P. [Pages] 108. 109 "There were, not long ago, the ruins of a small Village, commonly called by the country people "Pights' or Picts' houses". It consisted of fifty or sixty mossy huts, from six to twelve feet square, irregularly huddled together, hence it got the name of the bourachs. The walls were built of stones of a small size, and clay; the floors were paved with stones. Two circular huts containing some ashes, seem to have been corn kilns."
