Visited 11.10.24

Culquhasen SE Cairn is located in the NE corner of a field c. 0.33 mile SE of Culquhasen Farm, c. 4 mile SE of Glenluce in Dumfries and Galloway. Medium-sized clearance stones have been deposited on the S and E perimeter of the round cairn. The ruined stony cairn has been bisected by a dry stane dyke across the N arc. Canmore ID 62247 estimated that the original cairn measured 18m in diameter and 1.8m high. The S half of Culquhasen SE Cairn retains a covering of small stones: The N half has been robbed of stones leaving a grassy surface truncated by the stone wall. The area N of the wall has been populated by long grass and gorse bushes obscuring the original surface of the cairn. The remains of Culquhasen SE Cairn are c. 6 feet high.
