Shaws Moor Sm. [small] Cairns & hut circles
At the South West side of the Watchman Moor and
at an altitude of some 600 ft over sea level, on a low
ridge which lies to the West of the Dunoon Burn
about 1/2 m. [mile] South East of Shaws is another consider:
:able group of small cairns with a few as:
:sociated hut circles of small size and with
sunk floors. Two of the cairns have quite
recently been dug into but no record of any
observations appear to have been made.
The minister informed me that the depredators
were the local schoolmast and farmer.

Watchman Hill. - Shaws Moor
At the South end of Watchman Hill just
below the summit level and an [sic] an elevation
of a little less than 800 feet above sea level
is another small group of cairns similar
to the foregoing and on the upper side of
the group three or four hut circles the largest
of which is circular with a diameter of 15 ft. [feet]

Sm. [Small] Cairns &c. Gledenholm Moor.
On the West face of a long ridge lying to the
East of a damp hollow on the East of Watch:
:man Moor is another group of hut circles
with associated small cairns. The hut
circles appear to be of small dimensions and
like the others in this neighbourhood sunk a
foot or so in the ground.
