What is recorded here
Mangerton Mountain watches the small circular cairn on the Kerry ridge, where limestone and sandstone still touch after being forgotten by pasture. The second cairn waits twenty-five metres away, large enough to mark a line, a boundary or a dead person, but silent about which.
In a heavily overgrown area of rough pasture, on the S-facing slopes of a ridge, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. A roughly circular cairn (diam. 1.8m; H 0.6m) of both limestone and sandstone stones of assorted sizes. Another cairn (KE067-094004-) is c. 25m to the SE. (O'Donnell 2001; O'Donnell 2003)
