Time was against me (again!) so I thought we could drive down the lane from Newton Reigny right up to the Cairns. Wrong!

The lane from the hamlet is nothing more than a rough track suitable only for tractors. Therefore a walk would be required which was something we didn’t have time for.

One for next time.

There are 3 monuments, two Long Cairns and a Bowl Barrow all within two hundred metres of each other.
