OS 25" map (1967)

NS 256 727. There is a round cairn at Glen of Hecklemoor.

(The reference supplied locates the cairn in Loch Thom; Glen of Hecklemoor is at NS 27 72).

F Newall 1956; 1964

At NS 2770 7270, the amended position given by Mr Newall, is a sub-oval cairn, 11.0m E-W by 14.0m transversely. This cairn is now turf-covered and stands about 1.3m high at the centre, being sub-conical in section. A modern cairn, now overgrown, appears to have been constructed on its top but is barely distinguishable from the older feature.

Surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (JTT), 23 November 1964.
