Rig of Barnharrow

An elongated hogback in The Machars of Dumfries and Galloway, the Rig of Barnharrow rises to just above 110m (360 feet) on the right bank of the Black Burn, opposite Barharrie, 1¼ miles (2 km) north northwest of Culvennan Fell. This is part of an extensive drumlin field, with an extended tail and its principal axis aligned N-S indicating the direction of flow of an ancient ice sheet.
