Cairn in East Dunbartonshire
Recorded as a new find on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) in November 2013, this site is described on their page for Craigenkirn, New Kilpatrick, Dumbartonshire where they have directions on how to find this long cairn, together with an aerial view, photographs and a brief archaeology and history.
There is no entry on Canmore for this site, but they do record a plantation bank at NS 520 782 which is circular feature around 150 metres east - see their entry for Canmore ID 126184 which contains very few details.
