Scope and Content Chambered cairn known as The White Cairn at Bargrennan, Dumfries and Galloway The White Cairn at Bargrennan is forestry plantation to the W of Glentrool village. The cairn is rather ruinous but has given its name to a group of around twelve passage-graves in the area. This is a detailed view of the passage and the remains of the chamber. The paving and drystone walls can be seen. The site was excavated in 1949. A fire-pit by the entrance contained cremated bone and oak charcoal. Finds from the passage and chamber included about 60 sherds from Late Neolithic pottery. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
