Boskednan N Cairn B

Cairn(s)

markj99 Apr 10, 2026

Boskednan N Cairn B, located c. 165 yards NNW of Boskednan Stone Circle, has been virtually razed from the landscape. It is now only visible as a dark green patch in brown moorland. Historic England 1003099 states that the “southern round cairn survives as a low uneven circular stony mound measuring up to 14m in diameter and 0.4m high.” The area is carpeted in moor grass and moss obscuring any stones in the low mound.
Walk c. 50 yards SSE on the path from Boskednan N Cairn A towards Boskednan Stone Circle. Boskednan N Cairn B lies c. 30 yards W of the path.
