Newton Farm is a wonderful place if your looking for a lovely secluded beach to camp on.
It makes an excellent base for getting around the local sites.
The facilities are pretty none existant but the beach is a trip. Take lots of firewood and enjoy the Burial Chamber, Rock Art and lovely beach.
All that for £2 per tent per night.

Newton Farm Burial Chamber — Fieldnotes

It was interesting to visit this site after looking at possible protomegaliths at Cairnholy.

There is no sign of a cairn. The rectangular burial chamber has four pillars about 1.5m high arranged one at each corner like a four-poster bed.

A possible undeveloped protomegalith?

Newton Farm (Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art) — Fieldnotes

This was a crazy one.....the sun was low in the sky and lit the carvings up perfect but when the sun went behind the clouds awhile the cup & rings went with it..

Newton Farm (Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art) — Fieldnotes

I'm not sure if this is a known site. I've found no record of it, yet.
We noticed it as we were walking back to the beach from the burial chamber.
The sun was dropping and just caught the rock revealing a group of faint cup and rings on the western edge of an outcrop.
A nice end to our trip.

This lovely little site can be found in a lush meadow on Newton Farm.
It appears to have been a stone-lined rectangular box with a standing stone at each corner. It's a bit tumbled down but quite recognisable. Nice views over the sea and the broody hills.
