Visit Notes

Sunday, 27th January 2008

Across the top of Scawt Hill there are three high spots. Two of these seem to be natural, but the eastmost one is a cairn. The centre has been robbed out leaving a depression in the top of the 10m diameter cairn.

There is a large stone on the top of the remains that may have come from a cist.
