St. Gobnat’s grave is possibly the oldest manmade monument here and is unlikely to be the grave of the saint. It is a prehistoric cist covered in most of its cairn. It is tiny though – just 3m in diameter and 1.5m tall. Like the other monuments here it is a station on the pattern held here.
The top of the cairn is home to a large slab, which has many crosses scratched into it, and many offerings from pilgrims.
