Two round cairns – one of them amongst the best preserved in Scotland.
The Nether Cairn is 15m diameter and 3.5m high and retains its pudding-bowl shape from all angles. Such a joy to see one not mutilated for building dykes or sheep shelters. No trace of a kerb.
700m to the NE is the Upper Cairn (NT11005091), a bit higher than Nether Cairn but it has suffered from stone robbing.
Access Off a Right of Way running NE from Garvald Farm. Rough track with several gates but all can be opened.
