Cairn, Cuparlaw Wood. This cairn is situated on the summit of a low knoll within a felled wood, 170 yds ENE of Pendreich farmhouse and at a height of 600ft OD. It consists of a low, grass-covered mound which measures 40ft in diameter and stands to a maximum height of 1ft 6in.

The surface is disfigured by pits caused in 1926 when the cairn was opened and three cists were uncovered (R T Young 1927). Two of these contained no relics; in the third there were fragments of bones and a broken beaker, some sherds of which are preserved in the Smith Institute, Stirling.
