markj99 visited on 2nd May 2023 The location of Lab Knowe has been preserved for future antiquarians, however the grass mound with a modern stone marker cairn and information plaque is scant compensation for the destruction of an ancient cairn.

Cairn in South Lanarkshire

Law Knowe was the site of a cairn on a natural knoll on the N fringe of East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire. The cairn measured 8 or 10 yards and had a kerb of large flagstones according to Canmore ID 44899. Canmore states that a large part of the cairn was robbed by the end of the 18th Century and no traces of the cairn remained in 1955.
A Playsport golf course has been constructed on the site of the cairn. The location, in the SW corner of the golf course, has a Marker Cairn with an information plaque constructed on top of Law Knowe.
