markj99 visited on 23rd Mar 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 It is surprising that there are substantial remains of Delfour Ring Cairn given its proximity to Mid & Easter Delfour Farms: most cairns located in arable land have been robbed out for construction of buildings and walls over the ages. There is a standing stone on the SW perimeter of Delfour Ring Cairn, sole survivor of an outer stone circle. The ring cairn has fared better with discernible inner and outer rings enclosed by large kerb stones.
