NT 21380 43500 Harehope Cairn was excavated in the 1970s
and is situated near to the Moffat coach road. Presently,
the cairn lies in commercial forestry which had begun to
encroach on the monument. Adopt-a-Monument has been
working with the Peeblesshire Archaeological Society from
2013–16, undertaking a programme of maintenance and
conservation work. This has involved clearing the remains of
heather and self-seeded saplings.
Two postholes for the supporting posts of a new
interpretation panel at the site were excavated and recorded,
15 December 2016. No finds or features of archaeological
interest were recorded in the 0.5 x 0.3m by 0.6m deep
postholes.
