295. Cairn (supposed), Doons Law.

On the farm of Leetside, about ¼ mile north-east of the farm-house, is an, oval mound, possibly a cairn, lying with its main axis north-west to south-east. It measures some 83 feet by 65 feet, and at the highest point, which is on the north side, it is about 4 feet high above the level of the adjacent field. Its exact character is unascertainable without excavation.

The O.S. map indicates the discovery of ‘Roman’ relics on this spot in 1831.

The mound, which is planted with trees, is enclosed by a stone wall built against it.

RCAHMS 1915, visited 7th November 1908.
