NT13SW 14 1213 3135
(NT 1213 3135) Cairn (NR)
OS 6" map, (1967).
A cairn is situated on the left bank of an old bed of the River Tweed at a distance of 60 yds NE of Woodend cottage. It is a grass-covered stony mound which measures about 60ft in diameter and rises to a height of 2ft above the level of the ground to the W. Near the centre there can be seen the remains of a cist consisting of two side slabs, each 3ft 10ins in length and 1ft 6ins in depth, and the N end slab which measures 1ft 11ins in length. The contents of the cist were removed many years ago, when it was first discovered, and have not been recorded. This cairn, like the one at Drumelzier (NT13SW 12), three-quarters of a mile to the north, contained several other burials "apparently in less well-constructed cists".
