Image of Blue House Cairn (Cairn) by Martin

23/8/02- this is it I’m afraid- all that’s left is a small ring- it’s just below the pylon in the middle of the pic with a line of nettle in it.

Blue House Cairn

Cairn(s)

NT 6210 6470 Friday 23/8/02
On the way in to the Whiteadder valley through the dense hill fog, I stop just under the pylons. They crackle furiously in this moist air. I head back up the side of the road to Blue House Cairn. This site has been robbed out and is about 13 metres in diameter. Only a small ridge of earth and stones survives to a height of about 13cm.
