Fell of Loch Ronald Cairn is located in forestry c. 1 mile S of the Three Lochs Caravan Park in Dumfries and Galloway. The fate of this cairn is all too familiar: The area was chosen for afforestation. The ground was ploughed for tree planting, damaging the cairn. The trees matured and were felled causing further damage to the cairn and its surroundings.
Canmore ID 62397 states that Fell of Loch Ronald Cairn measured c. 35 feet in diameter with a possible central cist consisting of several large stones. All that remains of the cairn today is a probable excavated cist delineated by 5 large stones. It is roughly rectangular in shape, measuring c. 5x4 feet in cross-section and 2 feet deep. A large boulder lies directly E of the cist. I found 2 more moss covered stones in the E quadrant. There is an earth bank c. 3 feet high NW of the cist but it may be a later addition constructed by forestry work.
