Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Mangerton Mountain rises at the end of the ridge, suggesting the stones marked a boundary or a meeting place rather than a grave. Grass and thorns have since swallowed the field, forcing anyone who finds the cairn to push through a green wall before seeing the sky. The second stone circle waits fourteen metres away, large enough to hold several people standing together in the dark.
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. 1.5m; H 0.6m) of both limestone and sandstone stones of assorted sizes. Another cairn (KE067-094005-) is c. 14m to the SW.
