Round Cairns and Other Burial Mounds Cowiemuir
This cairn, 21 m in diameter and 0.6 m high, has suffered from stone robbing in the past. Two stones on the SW arc may have been part of a kerb.
It is not possible to say if the 3 boulders lying 3 m to the S of the cairn formed part of a stone circle or not.
