There are a further 9 cairns on the southern slope in varying states of preservation from average to poor.

Cults Loch Fort

Trip No.4  Entry No.3  Date Added: 25th Aug 2026
Site Type: Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 19th Aug 2026. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 4 Access 3

Log Text: I have been trying to visit this site for many years, however the field was always occupied by beef cattle. The older I get the less I am willing to take any risks: I always avoid beef cattle and angry farmers! I was lucky to find the field on the W bank empty on my recent visit allowing me to make a leisurely survey of the promontory fort.

Cults Loch Settlement

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Aug 2026. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 4 Access 3

Log Text: I accessed Cults Loch Settlement via a recently harvested field adjacent to the minor road from Castle Kennedy to New Luce. There is room to park carefully at a gateway in the field. Walk SE across the field for c. 350 yards. Go through this gate then go through a gate on your right. Walk c. 135 on a bearing of 167°, between S & SSW. You have arrived at Cults Loch Settlement. My walking route is viewable on Cults Loch Settlement.

Chlenry

Site Type: Barrow Cemetery Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2026. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 3 Access 3

Log Text: Chlenry Cairn Cemetery is located in an arable field which is often in crop. I was able to access the site because both fields on my route had recently been harvested. In any case, there is really nothing to see so I wouldn't recommend a visit.
