markj99 visited on 28th Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 2 A visit to Stroanfreggan Craig Fort can be extended to visit Round Craigs Cairn. Follow the 4x4 track NE up Stroanfreggan Craig ridge, bearing N at the end of the ridge towards the elongated crag on Round Craigs Summit at each fork of the 4x4 track. It is a walk of c. 1 mile over moorland to Round Craigs Cairn, made easier by following the 4x4 track.
Round Craigs Cairn is located on a natural knoll c. 50 yards SE of an elongated crag on Round Craigs Summit in Dumfries and Galloway. The round cairn measures c. 10 yards in diameter and 1 yard high. The perimeter has an intermittent outer kerb of stones less than 1 foot high. Within the cairn there is a discontinuous inner kerb of small earth-fast stones measuring c. 10 feet in diameter and up to 0.5 feet high. The centre of the cairn is a shallow hollow which has been robbed of loose stones.
Round Craigs Cairn is listed as Canmore ID 64354.
