Finnarts Hill Cairn is on the W slope of Finnarts Hill, c. 4 miles N of Cairnryan. This grassy round cairn measures c. 15 yards in diameter and 2 feet high. It has been almost entirely stone-robbed with the exception of a small pile of stones on the N Arc and two stones in the central hollow. The central stones are remnants of a cist within which a food vessel was found according to Canmore ID 60912 (go to Links). The large capstone, which measures c. 6 feet long by 21 inches in square section, is orientated NE-SW. There is an enclosure c. 250 yards NE towards the summit of Finnarts Hill.
