Full Description
Small cairns occur sporadically along the Hill of Allochie between NO852914 and NO857915, with similar concentrations at NO857915 and NO852912. A watching brief by CFA in 2012 during groundworks for a windfarm (NO89SW0094) included part of this site, but recorded only a single cairn at NO 85584 91091. It measured 5.6m long, 3.6m wide and 0.4m in height. No finds were found. Given its location on peat it is thought to be a clearance cairn of modern date, possibly relating to construction of a haulage road during previous pipeline installation.
