Dirrington Great Law, Mountain summit in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom
Dirrington Great Law is a mountain summit in the Scottish Borders rising to 398 meters above sea level. Three circular stone cairns stand at the peak, forming the main features of this highland location.
The three stone cairns at the peak date to the Early Bronze Age and served as burial monuments for ancient communities. They represent a significant form of funerary practice in southern Scotland during this period.
The mountain holds archaeological importance with its burial cairns, reflecting the funeral traditions of ancient communities in southern Scotland.
Wear sturdy hiking boots for the walk to the summit, as the terrain can be uneven and wet. Spring through autumn offers the most stable ground conditions, making these seasons ideal for planning a visit.
The cairns were constructed using stones quarried directly from the hilltop rather than gathering loose rocks from the surrounding area.
