Visited 05.10.24

The remains of Glenchamber Cairn are located on a natural knoll in pasture c. 4 miles NNE of Glenluce in Dumfries and Galloway. The low grassy mound is in a field opposite the junction of Glenchamber Farm Track with the Three Lochs road from Glenluce. The cairn has been reduced to a grassy oval plateau c. 1 foot above ground level . It measures c. 30 yards on an ENE-WSW axis and 18 yards on a NNW-SSE axis. There are scattered stones on the platform and a cluster of small stones c. 3 feet in diameter in the centre.
Canmore ID 109479 has details on Glenchamber Cairn.

Directions to Glenchamber Cairn: Take the Three Lochs turn off Main Street in the centre of Glenluce. Follow the road for c. 4.3 miles to reach the turn off to Glenchamber Farm on the left. There is room for a car to park here. There is a gate into a field opposite the junction. Walk S for c. 200 yards to a natural knoll in the grass field. Glenchamber Cairn is on the summit of the knoll. My walking route is viewable on Glenchamber Cairn.
