markj99 visited on 9th Feb 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 1 Cairnerzean Fell N Cairn is one of the Cairnerzean Fell Cairn Group on open moorland. The cairns vary in states of preservation from entirely robbed out to relatively intact. Cairnerzean Fell N Cairn is the best preserved of the group with an intact central mound. The stone kerb is intact round the perimeter but stone robbing has left a void between the kerb and the central mound.
Cairnerzean Fell N Cairn is a round cairn located c. 400 yards SE of Cairnerzean Fell Summit Cairn. It is the most Northern of a group of three cairns on Cairnerzean Fell. The cairn is constructed on a low platform c. 20 yards in diameter. A perimeter of stones delineates the platform surrounding an intact mound of stones c. 12 yards across reaching a height of c. 5 feet. It is listed as Canmore ID 62486 .
Directions: Take the A77 S from Ayr to Cairnryan. Drive 2.5 miles S from the 30mph speed limit on the S of Cairnryan. There is an unsigned left turn into a single track road to New Luce in the middle of a long straight at NX 0859 6374. Travel on this narrow road for c. 3.5 miles to a parking place beside an old WWII bombing target at NX 1142 6753. Cairnerzean Fell lies c. 2.5 miles E of here. My walking route is viewable on Cairnerzean Fell Route
Good walking boots, a GPS device and good stamina are requirements for this 5 mile walk over pathless open moorland.
