markj99 visited on 13th Oct 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Craigenlee Fell W Cairn is situated on the summit of Craigenlee Fell, an obvious location for an ancient monument. Wind Turbines have recently been constructed on Craigenlee Fell.
Craigenlee Fell W Cairn is on the summit of Craigenlee Fell c. 3 miles SW of Stranraer. It is a grassy round cairn measuring c. 12 yards in diameter and 1 yard high. The cairn has been almost entirely robbed of stones, leaving only several possible earthfast Kerb stones in situ. There is an excellent 360° panoramic view from Craigenlee Fell Summit. Further details of Craigenlee Fell W Cairn are available in Canmore ID 60562. Craigenlee Fell E Cairn is located c. 400 yards ENE on Craigenlee Fell.
