Image of Fordhouses (Barrow / Cairn Cemetery) by thelonious

16/05/2024 – Looking towards the barrow. It’s a bit higher up the slope that in Drew’s photos I think. I didn’t go looking as it’s a mess up there and I was tired.

Not really much to see here except a badly battered and quarried barrow. However they certainly have found loads of discoveries hence the link.

Travelling north of the House Of Dun I parked at the entrance to the Fordhouse farm. Crossed the bridge over the Den Burn, nice walks here, and jumped the fence. You should practically land on the barrow.

Visited 30/12/2014.
