Carsegownie Cairn submitted by DrewParsons
Carsegownie Cairn Cairn in Angus

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/
