Visit Notes

Saturday, 27th May 2006

This is the largest of the monuments on Seahan and can be seen for miles around. Early reports about the hilltop say that it had a kerb, but this is no longer visible.

The cairn is 25m in diameter and 2m high. An Ordnance Survey trig point stands on top of it. The southern side has little vegetation on it so the cairn material is exposed.

The views from the top of Seahan are simply stunning. There isn't much you can't see from here.
