Visit Notes

Sunday, 2nd February 2003

If this kerbed cairn was covered in a little more rubbish last time I passed by then it's hardly surprising that I didn't see it. The double circle of stones around the cairn are visible (just), but the cairn is next to gone and the central area is now a convenient place for the farmer to dump stuff. The kerb seems strongest on the northeast and one stone, taller than the rest, dominates the south west arc.
