Visit Notes

Sunday, 14th May 2006

I wasn't sure if I'd found the right place at first, but after double checking the map I had done so. The cairn is visible from the coast road at the entrance to the nearby farmtrack.

There isn't a great deal of it left and it is covered in grass. I would estimate that it is just 1.5m high.
