markj99 visited on 6th Jun 2021 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The low lying remains of Lamford Burn Cairn are not overly impressive however it is possible to view the footprint of a substantial cairn. Parking is available on the verge directly beside the cairn. Easy to visit if heading for Brownhill Burn & Water of Deugh Cairns.
Lamford Burn cairn Another inclusion in the regions’ Archaeosights leaflet - this laneside cairn is typical of many in the region. Located at NX52829915 the stone built cairn is enclosed behind a wire fence but has spectacular views over the surrounding mountains.
