the back slab, and are
4'.3" and 5'.8" broad at base.
On the NW [North West] side 8'.3"
distant from the back slab
& 11' from the stone opposite
the head of a large stone lying in the direction
of the chamber protrudes a few inches from the
ground. The cairn has been removed to
such an extent that its outline is not obtainable
but in rear of the side stones it is still 3' - 4' high.

In the Coille Poll na H'Airde the wood which
lies to the N. [North] of Newton Point are many hut-
-circles and tumuli.
Some 200 yds [yards] NE [North East] of the pier is a hut circle of
ordinary type with its entrance from the SE. [South East]
measuring 39' x 45'. The entrance is about
7' across but there is a tree stump in the
middle of it rendering its original dimensions
uncertain.
Some 30 yds [yards] NNW [North North West] of the last is a long low
cairn overgrown with blaeberries lying NNW [North North West] &
SSE, [South South East], measuring 49' x 15' and about 2' high.
Whether this is sepulchral or not it is
impossible to say.
About 50 yds. [yards] E. [East] of the hut circle is a cairn
lying E and W. [East and West] measuring 22' x 15'.
Another about 100 yds [yards] E. [East] of the circle is
circular with a diameter of about 22'
