Statement of Interest

O.S.A. XV 254 refers to an artificial mount 70' high

"opposite to the foot of the principal entry" of Monzie

Castle crowned by an hexagonal Chinese temple 14' x 12'

14' h., an open columnar structure with pointed roof balcony

and a 4' bell cote. This had evidently disappeared by

the time of Neale's visit.
