markj99 visited on 8th Feb 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 There is parking space at NX 1502 6755 on the minor road from New Luce to Penwhirn Reservoir c. 0.25 miles S of Cairnerzean Farm road. The Cairnerzean Cairns are within 100 yards S of the lay-by. It is better to visit in Autumn or Winter when the bracken has died off revealing the true footprints of the cairns.

Cairnerzean Farm SW Cairn is c. 350 yards E of Cairnerzean Farm. It lies c. 15 yards SW of Cairnerzean NE Cairn. The round cairn measures c. 10 yards across but the interior has been entirely robbed-out. There is an earth bank on the N half of the cairn up to c. 1.5 feet high. The S half of the cairn has been eroded reducing the earth bank to ground level. Canmore ID 61507 describes the features of the Cairnerzean Farm Cairns.
