On the Plan of the Lands of Williamston dated 1770, two cairns, almost contiguous to each other, are shown at about the summit of Cairn Hill (NJ 668 329).

Information from Plan of the lands of Williamston, 1770 (G Brown).

No trace

Visited by OS (AA) 24 March 1969.

Nothing is now visible of these two cairns, which were situated about 250m NE of East Cairnhill farmsteading (NJ63SE 65). They are depicted on a plan of the lands of Williamston dating from 1770. On the date of visit, the area in which the cairns stood was covered by dense patches of gorse.
