NX 352 783 A laser scan of the White Cairn, Bargrennan was carried out on 30 March 2016. The chambered cairn is located in commercial forestry 400m W of Glentrool. The cairn was excavated by Piggott and Powell in 1949, and is well known as an example of the round passage graves of SW Scotland that came to be known as the 'Bargrennan type', standing in contrast to the more widespread 'Clyde' long cairns. The survey was undertaken for conservation management purposes.
