OS1/3/10/93 BALMALLOCH CAIRN Balmalloch Cairn Balmalloch Cairn Ballmalloch Cairn Balmalloch Cairn J. McIlraith Esqr. Auchenflower William Dill Hugh Hamilton Esqr. Penmore William McCulloch 067 A Cairn about 18 yards in diameter and about 9 feet high quite Conical in Shape and form from the base to the top. Situated on a small circular hill in a hollow from which there is Scarcely a view of two miles distance. About halfway up on the North Side is a doorway formed of large Coarse irregular whinstone Rocks the entrance to the interior is just the Same as going down a well or Cellar with the roof before you as you descend, this cavity is at present filled up to the bottom of the door with the Same kind of Small Stone as compose the exterior, and apparently has never been Opened by any person. its secluded Situation is I Suppose the chief cause of this. Situated in a lonely wild dreary Moor known to only a few ( a very few indeed) but those directly conected with the farm on which it is. From the appearance of the ground around this Cairn I am convinced that it is not a Druidical cairn as they differ from all the other Cairns and Barrows by their being usually fenced round the base with a circle of Stones, by their being approached along an Avenue of upright Stones and by their having each on its Summit a large flat Stone on which the Druid fires were lighted none of these marks are tracable around this.

OS1/3/10/94 BALMALLOCH CAIRN Neither is it a Barrow as they are usually composed of earth and are not so numerous in the north of Britain as the Cairns, by Comparing the present cairn with the descriptions that I have read of cairns, barrows and [cistvaens] it comes under the class of Sepulchral Cairns I think such as denote the field of ancient conflicts and are by far more numerous than any of the other class, they are generally found to contain a multiplicity of contents, I have not the least doubt but the opening of this would reward the Antiquarian for his trouble. History and tradition are [akin] Silent as regards this perfect Specimen of Antiquity. I have made every inquiry of the most respectable inhabitants in this neighbourhood whether there ever was found in its vicinity any fragments of Swords Bows arrowheads or flint axeheads etc. for all and each of these have been found adjacent to Sepulchral Cairns, but received no information whatsoever, but as I said before its Situation is the cause why it has never been excavated ___ it is on the farm of Balmolloch and about 600 yards north west of the farmhouse on the property of Hugh Hamilton Esqr.

OS1/3/10/124 BARR [parish] Barr Barr Barr Barr Patersons Hist [History] of Ayr Stat. [Statistical] Acct. [Account] 1842 Voters List Johnstons County Map "This parish derives its name from the estate of Barr, & from which lands the Church and village are built. Barr both in the British and Celtic, means a summit or height." "The parish is bounded by Dailly on the north, Straiton on the east, Colmonell and Kirkcudbrightshire on the South and Colmonell and Girvan on the west." It is a wild, mountainous, moorland district. Four ridges of hills intersect the parish: two from the valley of the Stinchar; a third runs parallel, to the Southeast, shutting out the level country beyond, and the fourth runs in an opposite direction along the bank of the Minnoch and forms the commencement of that line of almost [mountainous] elevation which stretches [from] Ayrshire into Galloway.
