Visited 27.11.22 Littlepark Cairn is a round cairn located in pasture c. 500 yards E of Cruise Farm, c. 1.3 miles S of New Luce. The cairn, which measures c. 75 feet in diameter and 3 feet high, has field clearance stones dumped randomly over the grassy surface. The summit of the cairn is in the N Arc at c. 5 feet due to a pile of large field clearance stones. According to Canmore ID 61677 (go to Links) Littlepark cairn originally measured c. 50 feet in diameter before dumped field clearance stones increased its area. Cruise Back Fell Fort, another site worth investigating, is located c. 300 yards S of Littlepark Cairn. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Directions to Cruise Back Fell Fort: Take the W turn to Glenluce off the A75. Turn left for New Luce after 0.2 mile. Stay on this road for c. 4 miles to reach Cruise Farm. Walk NE along the SUW for c. 250 yards to a gateway. Littlepark Cairn is visible c. 0.25 miles SE on a ridge in the field. Continue SE towards a gateway in the stone wall. Follow the line of the stone wall S for c. 250 yards to Cruise Back Fell Fort on the summit of the fell. My route is viewable on Cruise Back Fell Fort. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
