Visit Notes

Saturday, 25th November 2006

Cairn R2 lies at the southwest end of the fenced off area on the top of Carnbane East. There is very little of the cairn left and only a few scattered stones from the kerb can be seen above the grass.

The mound has been greatly robbed away leaving a bump no more than 75cm high.
