Drumacissock North

Drumacissock North Cairn lies 50 yards E of the minor road between Craigcaffie and Penwhirn reservoir. It is a robbed out cairn around 15 yards across reduced to ground level with an incomplete arc of stones. It is difficult to spot Drumacissock North Cairn from the roadside in its moorland location.
