Cairn Bay. (19)
Situated about 1/4 m. [mile] ESE [East South East] of the Cairn (No.--)
is the Cairn Bay which probably has owed its
name to the tufts of yellow moss still growing
in the interstices of the stones. The cairn is
in a good state of preservation and measures
43’ from N to S. [North to South] by 45’ from E to W. [East to West] with an
elevation of 9’.

Fort Garheugh
About 1/4 m. [mile] to the N. [North] of Garheugh farm at a
point where the hill road takes a sharp
turn to the E [East] is a stone built defensive enclosure.
Though there are several hillocks in its vicinity
it occupies a comparatively low lying
position. In form it is kidney shaped
with the concave outline on the S. [South] side.
Its main axis lies E by N. [East by North] and W by S. [West by South]
and interior along it it measures 99’.
The width towards the E [East] end is 48’ and
at the opposite extremity 66’. The wall, which
is much ruined, has been about 7’ in thickness
and has contained in its thickness two small
circular hut hollows on the S. [South] side and
another of slightly larger dimensions on
the N. [North]. The position of the entrance is not
apparent.
