Barrow Cemetery in North Ayrshire
Situated 123m above sea level on the SW edge of Pyet Wood, it overlooks Maich Water in Ayrshire.
The NSA reported that sometime around 1810, "Mr Cochran" of Ladyland helped remove a Tumulus from near Ford farmhouse during agricultural improvements. He found an Urn containing Burnt Bones (Now in the Hunterian Museum)
When "R.W. Cochran-Patrick" re-excavated the Tumulus remains in 1855 he described it as "a small, scarcely observable mound". No further finds were made at the Tumulus, but 30 years later he did find a Bronze Age Axe nearby.
An OS visit in 1956 indicated the remains of a mound 30m in diameter, with a maximum height of 2m on the North side. It now has the appearance of a natural knoll.
