Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

On the summit of a heather covered, rounded mountain top. Panoramic views from N to SW. Some shallow bog cover, but generally quite grassy. A low grass-covered circular cairn (dims 10m; H 0.2m) enclosed by a kerb of 27 stones, closely set, some orthostatic ( H 0.45m max ), others simply sitting on the ground. There are 3 quartz stones internally. The tallest kerb stone is at the S, and is presently leaning outwards, but probably originally stood 0.7m high.

A low circular cairn, likely Neolithic in date, possibly a simple funerary or ritual monument. Its location on a prominent mountain summit suggests it may have had ceremonial or territorial significance.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
