Cairn (site), Hillhead.
The site of this cairn is on low-lying, level, cultivated land about ¼ m N of Hillhead farmhouse. The cairn has been almost entirely removed, but its site is not cultivated but used as a dump for weeds and rubbish. Under this some cairn material still survives and there are several large stones lying about on the edge of the area. Three on the north are contiguous and apparently earthfast and seem to stand on an arc of a circle, so that they may represent remnants of a peristalith. Two or three loose blocks on the S, over 2’ long, may also have belonged to the kerb, and careful examination of the site might still reveal some details of the plan of the structure.
