The Red House
The Red House, Victoria Road, Douglas has a red tiled roof with masonry walls of exposed red brick at the ground floor with half timbered gables or vertical tiling above. The bargeboards are elaborately carved and painted red, white and green (as originally). The massing of the house is sculptural with a maximum expression of the interior functions and emphasis of entrance porches and Jacobean chimneys. The building is sited in well defined grounds. The interior has not been inspected but is thought to contain features necessary to the integrity of the overall design concept. The whole appears to being maintained to the highest standards and to the original specifications. The house is significant as a good example of its style blending the traditional British rural features with American influences. As the house belonged to the architect it seems reasonable to assume that the design was not compromised in any significant manner.

The Rheast 'A'
Shieling settlement. This well-developed shieling, surrounded on three sides by stream gullies and on the fourth by a bank, was first identified by Megaw and Gelling in 1960. Of particular note is the funnel-shaped arrangement of banks through which stock could be driven into the enclosure. Gelling's small-scale distribution map shows 17 shieling mounds; more recent re-survey suggests that several more survive.
The Rheast 'A'
Medieval shieling. A curvilinear bank encloses the peninsula on which the shieling is located, all other sides being cut off by watercourses and gullies. An entrance at this point allowed stock to be driven down the slope and into the enclosure, through the funnel-shaped arrangement of the banks which extend to the east and west.
The Rheast 'B'
Roundhouse settlement. The foundations of seven roundhouses survive, with internal diameters of 6 to 7m. Some are quite substantial, with stone visible in the walls, while others are barely visible below vegetation. A boundary of orthostats runs for around 50m in a south-westerly direction from the settlement before petering out.
The Rheast 'C'
Burial mound cemetery; standing stone. Three ditchless largely grass-covered burial mounds which show strong quartz content at SC 3592487950, SC 3592287963 and SC 3591787984. The first mound has a diameter of 9.0 m and average height 0.6 m. Some of the quartz stones may be the result of modern cairn-building. A fallen standing stone is located to the west of it at SC 3591687946.
