[Note]
A Cave or Weem about 50 feet in length was discovered
about three years ago on the highest part of a field east
of Lintrose. The breadth at the inner end was about
seven or eight feet and the height five feet: it gradually
narrowed to three feet at the entrance which winded half
round. The floor was paved, and the walls built with large
Stones, the upper Courses projecting inwards. These
Caves were used by the ancient inhabitants of the country
either as hiding holes as Chalmers thinks or as others suppose
as winter quarters. New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Forfarshire p. [page] 643-4
