Arnsheen S Cairn is a robbed out cairn located in a forestry clearing c. 4 miles SE of Barrhill, in South Ayrshire. The stones quarried from the cairn were used to construct a large sheepfold on the surface of the cairn. Canmore ID 62455 (go to Links) estimates that the original cairn had a diameter measuring c. 30 yards, based on remains of the N and E Arcs. Arnsheen N Cairn, a smaller cairn, is situated c. 30 yards SSW of Arnsheen S Cairn.

Directions: Arnsheen S Cairn is c. 250 yards SW of a lay-by at NX 27713 77179 on the B7027 Barrhill road. Walk c. 50 yards N along the road to reach two large fenceposts on the W margin of the forest. Head W into the trees along a forest ride. This green lane intersects with a forest ride heading SW. Follow this rough path for c. 200 yards. This boggy route becomes drier as it approaches the forest clearing in which the Arnsheen Cairns are located. Wellies and a walking stick are recommended.
