good condition and does not appear to have
been excavated.
About 1/4 m. [mile] or rather less to the E [East] of the cairn
is a small group of cairn like mounds, probably
the ruins of small circular stone huts. The
largest has a diametrical measurement over all
of 18' and interiorly of about 8'. The position of the
entrance is not apparent. Against a low
bank some 3'.6" in height & facing NW. [North West] are
ruins measuring along the bank some 30' over
all and in breadth about 13' which appear
to be the remains of two huts with probably
a space between them.

Cairn Waterhead (unnoted)
About 1 1/4 m. [miles] above Waterhead on the right
bank of the Water of Deugh at an elevation
of about 1000 ft. [feet] above sea level and distant
some 300 yds. [yards] from the river which flows by
100' lower down is a circular cairn, though
somewhat delapidated apparently unexcavated
measuring about 30' in diameter and 2'.6" in
elevation.
About 150 yds. [yards] to the Westward has been
another cairn now almost entirely removed.
What has evidently been the cover of a cist
measuring 3'.10" by 2'.1" lies exposed &
displaced at the edge.
