Visit Notes

Sunday, 27th January 2008

Very little remains of this monument. It is marked on the OS map as an enclosure, but it is almost certainly a robbed out cairn. You can see the rubble in the sections that remain. Presumably it was robbed to provide building material for the road that runs past the small outcrop that it stands on.
