Summary edit

Description
English: A cairn on Teindside Hill This well built cairn is approximately 1.5x1.5m at the base, tapering up to a height of about 2m. There is an inscribed stone on the south face with the initials RE.RT, a date of 1880 and a carving of what appears to be an hourglass in the vertical position and the outline of a plough. It could be that a farmer from Northhouse Farm, which the cairn overlooks, was buried here in 1880. The cairn stands at the southern edge of a small hill fort, so it may be a dedication cairn rather than a marker for a burial place.
