Cairnhouse E Cairn is a stony mound on the N edge of Cairnhouse Farm, c. 2 miles NNW of Wigtown in Dumfries and Galloway. The round mound is contained within a square stone-walled enclosure attached to a farmhouse. It is inaccessible due to the stone wall and surrounding ferns. According to Canmore ID 63373 material has been removed from the E arc. Canmore estimates that Cairnhouse E Cairn measures c. 60 feet in diameter and 7.5 feet high.
