Carscreugh S Cairn is located c. 2 miles NE of Glenluce in Dumfries and Galloway. It is located in pasture, a quarter of a mile SW of Carscreugh farmhouse. The round cairn measures c. 50 feet in diameter and 3 feet high. There are large embedded stones on the E and W arcs and on the summit of the mound. There are no signs of excavation on the grassy surface. Canmore ID 62158 has details of Carscreugh S Cairn.

Directions to Carscreugh S Cairn: Take the E Glenluce turn off the A75. There is an unsigned right turn after c. 0.1 mile. Follow this track for c. 0.4 mile then turn left for Carscreugh Wind Farm. After c. 1 mile on this narrow road you can park up at the entrance to Carscreugh Wind Farm at NX 2203 5958. Walk NE along the road to reach a small wood after c. 300 yards. There is an entrance into the field on the right c. 100 yards further on. Make your way across a bridge into the field then head S past a mature tree towards an obvious green mound in pasture. Carscreugh S Cairn is c. 70 yards S of the tree. My walking route is viewable on Carscreugh S Cairn.
