The name of Cairnhill Farm suggests that a cairn should exist nearby. I couldn't find anything definite, not even on Cairn Hill, but sometimes years of agricultural improvements can mask these old sites. I did wonder about the heap of boulders shown here as this sort of feature often indicates an ancient cairn.
