Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Mangerton Mountain rises from behind the stones, and the second cairn waits twenty-three metres away like a matched promise. The first circle holds both limestone and sandstone, marking a ridge where sight and memory still move together.
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. 1.7m; H 0.5m) of both limestone and sandstone stones of assorted sizes. Another cairn (KE067-094002-) is c. 23m to the NNE.
