Kirk Ness

Round Barrow(s)

wideford Aug 8, 2004

The next rise along from Kirkhope Cairn is another Kirk Ness mound ND47389117 “locally believed to be ancient”. A single stone sticks out of the top visibly. If one boundary is the Kirk Ness Dyke just beyond then the other boundary is likely to be where a brown standing stone marks the corner of a field.
