Details Cairn. A large, flat-topped cairn, situated on the top of Dickmount Law and surrounded at base by a modern retaining wall. It measures about 30m overall and is 3m high, the flat top being 12m in diameter and showing signs of unrecorded excavation as the top is concave. There are several excavation trenches in the side of the mound, one of which, in the west, shows it to be constructed of small stones. What appears to be a slight ditch 3m wide inside the retaining wall may be simply the result of earth piling against the wall. Local tradition said that this was where the baron held his courts. The view from the top of Dickmount Law is one of the most extensive in the county.
