markj99 visited on 27th Apr 2021 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I have made multiple visits to Bagbie Cairn and its surroundings. There are many sites to visit in a small area. There is a view of the sea from Bagbie Cairn which may have influenced its location.
This stone pair is part of a wider complex which includes a four poster stone circle, a cairn and an outlying standing stone.
The two stones stand immediately on the eastern side of the cairn and metres south of the four poster. The stones are low (knee/thigh height) and just over one metre apart.
Use OS Explorer 311 and 312 maps. To get to this site take the lane NE from the A75(T) on the eastern side of Wigtown Bay at Kirkbridge Bridge. Follow it for around 2 km until the lane opens out after a cattle grid. Follow the map to get to the stones but it is fairly easy going and straight forward.
These stones are referred to in Canmore ID 63327 which says: "Two upright stones 1.5m apart on the ESE edge of the cairn, and a third edge-set slab on the NE are probably the remains of a kerb. The centre of the cairn has been disturbed."
