Knockeen Cairn is located c. 2 miles ENE of Barr Village in South Ayrshire. It lies in rough pasture on the S edge of a strip of trees, screening it from the road. The round mound measures c. 66 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. There are no stones visible on the grassy surface except for a cluster of embedded small stones in the NW quadrant. There is a hollow in the centre of the cairn measuring c. 4 feet in diameter and 0.5 feet deep. It is probable that the centre of the cairn has been excavated. This is the only trace of disturbance on the mound. Canmore ID 71385 has further details of Knockeen Cairn.
