Cairnavain stood a little west of the public road leading to Middle Rigg, from Milnathort, on a slight elevation in the moor, the stones have been all removed to make walls - nothing now remains of that large Cairn but a little rubbish. Mr. Miller of Middle Rigg pointed out its site which is easily traced its track being very well defined.
Mention is made of it in the New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] in the following words.-
"Upon the top of the branch of the Ochil's which bounds the Parish on the north, stands
Cairnavain, once an immense collection of stones, though now much reduced in size. the proprietor thirty years since, having carried away many hundred Cart loads for the purpose of building diKes. There was a rude stone coffin in the Centre of the Cairn, containing an Urn full of bones and charcoal, and amongst these was found, a small ornament of bone about 4 inches long, very much resembling the figure of a cricKet bat, and notched in the edges. |

Cairnavain [Note]
"Among the Ochills stands Cairnavain, formerly
a prodigious collection of loose stones,
but now much reduced by the loss of many
hundreds of cartloads which was carried
away for dike building." Full [Fullarton's] Gazeteer
"On the summit of one of the Ochil Hills, on the northern bounday
of Orwell Parish, is a remarkable Cairn. It bears the name of
Cairnavain, and an ancient traditional rhyme thus
refers to the treasure believed to be contained in it (see Dryburn Well).
Many hundreds of cartloads of stones have been carried off by
the proprietors from this gigantic pile, for the purposes of
building fences, but no treasure has yet been found, though eagerly
expected by the workmen. A rude stone cist occupied the centre of the pile, within which lay an
urn full of bones and charcoal, and amongst these a small implement of bone about 4 inches
very much resembling in figure a cricket bat notched on the edges."
