Cairn in Stirling
This cairn is recorded on Canmore ID 47128 which tells us: "When this cairn, which measures 12m in diameter and 0.5m in height, was opened in 1926, three cists were found, one of which contained a Beaker (SAGMS A3999) and some fragments of bone." They add that the cairn is "situated on the summit of a low knoll within a wood, 170 yards ENE of Pendreich farmhouse and at a height of 600ft OD. It consists of a low, grass-covered mound."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also has a page for this cairn - see their entry for Cuparlaw Wood, Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, which has directions for finding the cairn, photographs and a brief archaeology and history.
