Visited 05.10.24

Carscreugh N Cairn is located on the N edge of Carscreugh Wind Farm, c. 3 miles NNE of Glenluce in Dumfries and Galloway. The round cairn is in an elevated position on Carscreugh Fell. The lush green of the cairn stands out in the brown sea of moor grass. Carscreugh N Cairn has been entirely robbed of stones leaving a grassy flat topped mound which measures c. 60 feet in diameter and 4 feet high. The interior of the cairn is irregular with a central hollow measuring c. 4 feet in diameter and 1 foot deep. Canmore ID 62437 has further details of Carscreugh N Cairn.

Carscreugh N Burnt Mound is located c. 130 yards WSW from Carscreugh N Cairn. The terrain between the sites is boggy and uneven.

Directions to Carscreugh N Cairn: Take the Three Lochs turn off Main Street in the centre of Glenluce. Follow the road for c. 2.7 miles to reach an entrance to Carscreugh Wind Farm on the right. There is room for a car to park here. No unauthorised vehicles are permitted in the wind farm so you can walk or cycle from here. Follow the track S for around 0.3 mile to reach a left turn just before the first wind turbine. Take the turn, follow it for c. 0.5 mile, bearing right uphill at a Y-junction. You will reach No. 11 wind turbine after c. 400 yards. Continue for c. 180 yards to a solitary gorse bush on the left. A vague sheep path heading NW starts here. The path becomes a 4x4 path heading for an obvious green island in the moorland c. 200 yards from the track. This green oasis is Carscreugh N Cairn. Walk WSW for c. 130 yards across boggy terrain to a grassy crescent shaped mound on the edge of a burn. This is Carscreugh N Burnt Mound. My walking route is viewable on Carscreugh N Cairn.
