Once at the Mid Strone Cairn look north and west and you’ll see plenty of prehistoric sites. These are the ring cairns.

NO29181 56740
A very small ring cairn, perhaps a double kerb. One of the outer kerbs has fallen.

NO29172 56753 One larger outer kerb and an inner circle of small stones.

NO28995 56752 A small ring cairn 5m wide.

NO28976 56776 A nice ring cairn sitting at over 6m wide, some decent kerbs amongst the turf.
