Another wonderful place and very easy to find too, although the short, steep walk is not suitable for all to attempt. When you reach the plateau you are greeted first by timy little model dolmens that people have built. Then when you reach the cairn proper there are lots more on the great piece of limestone pavement that surrounds the cairn. I am not sure what the two, much later, square buildings were for - possibly shepherd huts?
The cairn is, without including the tall stack of stones on the summit, around 2.5m high and 10m across. From the amount of mini-dolmens scattered about I'd say that this site is quite heavily visited and quite rightly too. It is quite lovely here even in the rain, but especially when a big double rainbow comes out to smile down upon you, as it did for me.
