Visited 16.06.24

Drummuckloch Hill Cairn is located in rough pasture c. 0.75 miles E of Cairnryan in Dumfries and Galloway. The ruined cairn is obscured by clumps of marsh grass. Canmore ID 60677 states that the mound “measures 7m in diameter by a maximum of 0.4m in height.”

There may be a relationship between Drummuckloch Hill Cairn and Drummuckloch Hill Standing Stone which lies c. 70 yards SSE of the stone.

Directions to Drummuckloch Hill Cairn:My route starts at the car park at Cairnryan Village Hall, adjacent to P&O Ferry Terminal. Walk N for c. 300 yards, cross the grass onto Claddyburn Terrace. Take the private single track lane to High Croach that bears left from Claddyburn Terrace. Follow this track uphill for c. 0.9 miles to a faint track starting on the right side of the track at NX 0804 6854. Take a 4x4 track S uphill over rough pasture towards a dry stane dyke. Follow the dry stane dyke S for c. 0.5 mile to reach a short dry stane dyke. Drummuckloch Hill Standing Stone is located on the end of this dyke. Walk c. 70 yards SSE towards a circle of marsh grass concealing Drummuckloch Hill Cairn,c. 20 yards NE of the dry stane dyke. Once you leave the road the route may be boggy so waterproof footwear is recommended. My route is viewable on Drummuckloch Hill Cairn.
