Visit Notes

Saturday, 26th October 2002

A low cairn just 1.5m in height and around 8m in diameter this nestles on the top of a hill which has around 7 wedge tombs scattered around it. The brick sized lumps of limestone that have been used in its construction shine brightly in direct sunlight - in stark contrast to the lush grass that surrounds it.

It is not the most spectacular cairn, but it is a very pleasant sight.
