Carsegownie Cairn is located 50 metres north of the B9134 approximately two kilometres west of Aberlemno. It is shown on the Ordnance Survey map as a cairn just east of the farm lane leading to Carsegownie Farm. It comprises a small mound approximately 1 metre high and 30 metres in diameter with a number of stones around its perimeter. When excavated some time before 1842 a stone urn containing black ashes was found together with two stone dishes with handles. No other finds were made. The Canmore reference is: http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/34911/details/carsegownie/
