There is a round grassy cairn on the summit of Penderry Hill, c. 4.5 miles S of Ballantrae in South Ayrshire. Penderry Hill is c. 0.7 miles NW of Glenapp Church. The cairn measures c. 7 yards in diameter and 1 foot high. There are no visible stones on Penderry Hill Cairn. The green grass circle stands out from the brown moorland grass. An OS Trig Point has been constructed on the centre of the cairn. It is listed as Canmore ID 60859.
