British Block Cairn

British Block Cairn is an archaeological site on Alberta’s Suffield Block dating to about 1400 C.E. It features a large boulder cairn surrounded by a ring of stones and a human effigy figure, making it a notable example of the region’s prehistoric stone constructions. The site was examined during the summers of 1961 and 1962 after A. M. Pennie, Chief Superintendent of the Suffield Experimental Station, granted access to crews from the Glenbow Foundation. Those crews included R. G. Forbis, D. R. King, Frank O'Leary, Kenneth Smith, John Miller, and James Farmilo.
