Lamford Burn Cairn is a cairn in Dumfries and Galloway c. 1 mile from the border with East Ayrshire. According to Canmore ID 63853 (go to Links) in 1963 it was a ‘cairn 48 feet in diameter and circa 6 feet high.’ A subsequent report from 2004 gave the following detail: 'The Scheduled Lamford Burn cairn was substantially damaged in July 2004. Unauthorised excavations at the cairn had left it severely truncated.'
When I visited in 2012 I found the cairn razed to ground level on the N hemisphere and up to 1 foot high on the S hemisphere. There was a perimeter of earth and stones delineating the original footprint of the cairn with a stripped interior on the N side and scattered stones on the S side.
