What is recorded here

Mangerton Mountain rises through a gap in the hills, waiting to be seen from the ridge where the cairn sits. Someone stacked limestone and sandstone there, perhaps marking a boundary, a buried body or a place worth remembering. Grass and goat grass have since smothered the work, but the stones still hold their shape against the slope.

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. 3m; H 0.8m) of both limestone and sandstone stones of assorted sizes. Another cairn (KE067-119002-) is c. 4m to the NNW.

A roughly circular cairn, likely of the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, possibly a funerary or ritual monument; its mixed stone construction and location on a prominent slope suggest a ceremonial or commemorative function.
