Haggstone Moor

Kerbed Cairn

markj99 Dec 9, 2022

There is a cairn located in South Ayrshire, c. 2 miles N of Cairnryan, listed on Canmore ID 60867 as a kerb cairn. The grassy cairn measures c. 50 feet in diameter and 3 feet high. There are no visible stones on the cairn, except for 8 probable kerb stones on the SW perimeter. The largest stone is a triangular stone, measuring c. 3 feet long by 1 foot wide at the base, resembling a recumbent standing stone. The surface of the cairn is irregular with a central grassy hollow, probably an excavation pit.
