markj99 visited on 7th Sep 2019 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 1 It is illogical to put so much effort into such a small hidden cairn. Then again, when did common sense influence the antiquarian seeking a new target. I have an unfortunate attraction to remote sites.
Beoch Hill cairn is 300 yards S of White Cairn, Beoch Hill. It's a smaller cairn, around 10 yards across with a hollowed out centre.
See White Cairn, Beoch Hill for directions. From the White Cairn walk S towards a gate around 200 yards away. Beoch Hill cairn is a grassy bank 100 yards S from the gate in rough moorland.
