"On this are the remains of a building that measured 73 feet by 63. The ruins of this ancient structure, have, for a long time past supplied materials for the dykes and roads of the neighbourhood. It was built of freestone, but the stones do not appear to have been hewn. Some labourers, about 50 years ago, as they were collecting stones for the above mentioned purposes, discovered among the ruins a pretty large vault, on making this discovery, they were greatly elated with the hopes of finding a treasure, after the more diligent search, however, they found nothing but rubbish. In a few days the subterranean apartment which had been concealed for time immemorial was no more. It is probable that other vaults may lie buried in the ruins, as they have never been thoroughly ??

"In the neighbourhood of Kittochside, there were two ancient fortifications, referred to by Mr. Ure
They stood on two hills now know by the names of Castlehill and Rough-hill. The former is on the north, and the latter to the south of Kittoch; the distance between them is about 200 yards. They have been so well described by Mr. Ure, that it is unnecessary to say more here regarding them, where that since his times the Castle-hill has been covered with trees, and that none of the stones remain on Rough-hill.
