The hut circle noted on the map, about
1/4 NE [North East] of the end of Newton Point is of the ordinary
type with entrance from the SE. [South East] about 2' across
interior diameter 27' x 31', banks from 5' to 6' wide.
A number of small round cairns lie in
its vicinity.
On the N. [North] side of the clearing near the centre
of the wood is a cairn lying N. and S. [North and South]
measuring 22' x 12' and about 3' in height
About 50 yds. [yards] N. [North] are the remains of a hut
circle.
Some 300 yds [yards] S. [South] of Redhouse and almost
entirely overgrown with whins are the
remains of a cairn which appears to have
been circular with a diameter of about
57'. The interior and E [East] side at some
remote period have been entirely removed.
