Dirrington Great Law, Mountain summit in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom
Dirrington Great Law rises to 398 meters above sea level, featuring three circular stone cairns at its peak in the Scottish landscape.
Archaeological surveys from 1950 documented three round cairns at the summit, indicating significant Early Bronze Age burial practices in this region.
The mountain holds archaeological importance with its burial cairns, reflecting the funeral traditions of ancient communities in southern Scotland.
The 1.5-mile path to the summit requires proper hiking boots, with spring through autumn providing the most favorable conditions for ascent.
The cairns were constructed using stones quarried directly from the hilltop rather than gathering loose rocks from the surrounding area.
