Cairn
Some [--] yds. [yards] SSE. [South South East] of the top of Cairnerzean Fell
is a cairn in a good state of preservation

of a large circular cairn rising directly from
the circumference which has had a diameter
of about 53'. Quite two thirds of the cairn have
been removed to build the neighbouring dykes
and the centre has obviously been cleared out.

Cairnscarrow. (Cairns Sites)
The O.S. [Ordnance Survey] indicates the sites of two cairns on
this hill. That at the N. [North] end I failed to find
and there are probably no remains of importance.

At the S. [South] end of Cairnscarrow to the W. [West] of the
summit and about 100 yds [yards] N [North] of the stone dyke
which runs across the fell is a megalithic
cist which has occupied the centre of a
cairn now almost entirely removed. It
lies NE [North East] and SW [South West] and is open towards the
latter direction. The W. [West] side is formed of a
