Bargrennan chambered cairns are a class of prehistoric chambered cairns found only in south-west Scotland, in western Dumfries and Galloway and southern Ayrshire. They form a separate group from the Clyde cairns which are found along the coast of western Britain. Unlike Clyde cairns, Bargrennan monuments are passage graves, with one or more chambers set into a round cairn. As well as being structurally different, Bargrennan cairns are separated from Clyde cairns by their siting and distribution; they are found in upland, inland areas of Galloway and Ayrshire. Murray suggests that there are around twelve Bargrennan monuments in south-west Scotland. She also notes that as sheep rees are often built into and over these types of cairns, more are likely to have been lost under shepherd's buildi

- Die Bargrennan Tombs sind eine kleine Gruppe von Megalithanlagen in Galloway und Ayrshire im Südwesten Schottlands. Sie haben langgestreckte rechteckige oder trapezoide Kammern, die über einen Gang zugänglich sind und liegen ausschließlich in runden Cairns. Insofern sind sie eine Zwischenform zwischen den benachbarten Clyde- und Passage Tombs. Ihre frühesten Daten liegen im 3. Jahrtausend, wobei die Datendichte angesichts der wenigen untersuchten Anlagen gering ist. (de)

| - Bargrennan chambered cairns are a class of prehistoric chambered cairns found only in south-west Scotland, in western Dumfries and Galloway and southern Ayrshire. They form a separate group from the Clyde cairns which are found along the coast of western Britain. Unlike Clyde cairns, Bargrennan monuments are passage graves, with one or more chambers set into a round cairn. As well as being structurally different, Bargrennan cairns are separated from Clyde cairns by their siting and distribution; they are found in upland, inland areas of Galloway and Ayrshire. Murray suggests that there are around twelve Bargrennan monuments in south-west Scotland. She also notes that as sheep rees are often built into and over these types of cairns, more are likely to have been lost under shepherd's buildings. The type site is White Cairn, Bargrennan. This monument and nearby Cairnderry chambered cairn have been excavated but having been previously robbed out neither have provided material for dating. Both sites show extensive reuse in the Bronze Age, including the addition of a Bronze Age cist in White Cairn. It has been suggested that this may indicate an early Bronze Age date for sites of this type. However, a mid to late Neolthic date has also been suggested. (en)
- Die Bargrennan Tombs sind eine kleine Gruppe von Megalithanlagen in Galloway und Ayrshire im Südwesten Schottlands. Sie haben langgestreckte rechteckige oder trapezoide Kammern, die über einen Gang zugänglich sind und liegen ausschließlich in runden Cairns. Insofern sind sie eine Zwischenform zwischen den benachbarten Clyde- und Passage Tombs. Ihre frühesten Daten liegen im 3. Jahrtausend, wobei die Datendichte angesichts der wenigen untersuchten Anlagen gering ist. Namengebend ist die Anlage White Cairn (auch Glentrool) von Bargrennan die Stuart Piggott (1910–1996) und T. G. E. Powell (1916–1975) im Jahre 1949 in sehr kurzer Zeit ausgegraben haben. Sie war ein stark gestörter ovaler Cairn von etwa 17,6 auf 15,3 m Durchmesser, bei dem die trapezoide Einheit von Gang und Kammer unstrukturiert ineinander übergehen. Bei einer 1999 erfolgten Nachuntersuchung wurden ein Basaltblock von 0,5 mal 0,6 m und mehrere kleinere Stücke Basalt unter der Anlage festgestellt, von denen nicht klar ist, ob sie hierher transportiert wurden oder Teil des Untergrunds waren. Eine Nachuntersuchung ergab, dass das Umfeld von Cairnderry und Bargrennan in der Bronzezeit als Gräberfeld genutzt wurde. Andere Anlagen des Typs sind z. B. Balmalloch, Bencallen Hill, Caves of Kilhern, Kirriemore und Water of Deugh und ggf. The Druid’s Graves am "Cuff Hill". (de)
