Cairn Eldrig Loch Head (27)
In the corner of a field between the road by
the loch and the road to Kirk of Mochrum
and about 100 yds. [yards] S. [South] of the hamlet are the
remains of a cairn with a diameter of
about 45’. It is situated in cultivated land
and is reduced to an elevation of about 2’.

Fort Ringheel (15)
On the crest of a ridge of cultivated land
about 1/2 m. [mile] E. by N. [East by North] of Ringheel farm are
the remains of a small circular fort
almost obliterated by cultivation.
A single rampart, now barely
discernible from the surrounding level
has enclosed a circular area with
a diameter of from 70’ to 80’. In the
interior the plough has turned up the
remains of a floor of burnt clay and
blackened soil containing fragments of
charcoal.

The Carlin Stone (21)
About 1/4 m. [mile] N. [North] of the N. [North] end of Eldrig loch at
the upper end of a cultivated field is a
single pointed standing stone measuring
5’.6” in height and 3’ in breadth at base
& facing E. and W. [East and West]. It is said to have formerly
stood in the centre of a circle or ring 12’ in dia. [diameter]
formed of granite stones used for building a
dyke. (Rev. [Reverend] George Wilson’s Register in Museum)
