Transcriber's notes
The entry for the Two Stone Cists is a continuation of the Antabreck (Post Office) entry, with the information regarding dispatch of post appearing at the end of the Cists description. The transcription has added the dispatch of post at the end of the Antabreck (Post Office) description.
The Antabreck heading seems to have been duplicated and Purtabreck omitted.
