Auchmantle Fell (The Muckle Cairn) is situated c. 2 miles WSW of New Luce in Dumfries and Galloway. All that remains is a low grassy round platform with a modern cairn constructed in the centre. The platform measures c. 15 feet in diameter by 1 foot high. The modern cairn measures c 4 feet high. There are traces of a small stone enclosure in the E quadrant. Details of Auchmantle Fell (The Muckle Cairn) are available in Canmore ID 61691.
The Scots word Muckle means “big”, differentiating the cairn from Auchmantle Fell (The Wee Cairn) which lies in boggy moorland c. 135 yards S (c. 190°) of The Muckle Cairn.
