Cairnpat or Cairnpiat, a hill in Portpatrick parish, Wigtownshire, 3¼ miles SSW of Stranraer. Rising 593 feet above sea-level, it commands a fine view of the Rhins of Galloway; and its top is engirt with remains of two (once three) stone walls, evidently erected for military purposes, separated from one another by ample intervening spaces, and formerly defended by entrenchments.
