Wester Coul

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Jun 22, 2020

Just to the north west of Lintrathen Reservoir on the B951 take the minor road heading north. Head to Wester Coul farm for permission to walk around the site.

The site itself is a very short walk west from the first corner on the minor road, the road to Wester Coul farm is an offshoot.

It looks in pretty good condition and appears to be undisturbed except for some field clearence and animal damage. Cairn material also pokes through the turf covered site which sits at 15m wide, being 2m tall.

A very good cairn in a very good area for prehistory.
