Blackhill Wood NO 796 817 NO78SE 19
This long cairn is situated on the crest of a low rise immediately S of the public road and E of the NE corner of Blackhill Wood. It measures 47.6m in length, and tapers from 16.2m in breadth at the E end to about 4.8m at the W end; the central portion has been severely robbed, but at the E end the cairn material survives to a height of 1.2m. The W end of the cairn is apparently overlain by a round cairn (8.5m in diameter by 0.4m in height), and along the S side there are a series of irregular heaps of what are probably field-cleared stones. About 30m ENE of the E end there is at least one small cairn (4.5m in diameter by 0.4m in height).
