Visited 05.10.24

Carscreugh N Burnt Mound is located on Carscreugh Fell c. 3 miles NNE of Glenluce in Dumfries and Galloway. It is situated in moorland between two burns c. 130 yards WSW of Carscreugh N Cairn. On approach from the E, the grassy crescent-shaped mound stands out from the brown vegetation. It measures c. 30 feet E-W and 15 feet N-S. Canmore ID 62431 has additional information on Carscreugh N Burnt Mound.

Directions to Carscreugh N Burnt Mound: 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.
