markj99 visited on 15th Nov 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Given its proximity to Barlure farm, this cairn is surprisingly free of debris. It's an easy walk from the Barrhill road so why not?
The grassy cairn measures c. 45 feet in diameter and 4 feet high. The perimeter has some potential Kerb Stones, especially on the SE Arc. The interior of the cairn is free from stones except for a small cluster on the W Quadrant. The E Half of Barlure Cairn is 4 feet high, c. 1 foot higher than the W Half. Canmore ID 61319 has further details of Barlure Cairn.
