Trevilley Cliff Tumuli
Trevilley Cliff Tumuli submitted by Bladup : Trevilley Cliff kerb cairn [SW 34682417], On the Right you can see the sign drilled into the exposed Cist sidestone, This is a disgrace, Also a disgrace is the fact the coast path still cuts though the Cairn when a simple bypass is all that it needs, The kerb is clearly visible on the left (Vote or comment on this photo)
On the right of the photo you can see the sign drilled into the exposed side stone of the cist, which is idiotic - and all of the signs are wrong - see the other photos on our page. Also a disgrace is the fact the coast path still cuts though the cairn when a simple bypass is all that it needs to protect this site. The kerb of the cairn is clearly visible on the left.

Nearby there is a circular enclosure with the remains of three possible barrows inside. Page originally by Coldrum.

Trevilley Cliff Tumuli submitted by Bladup : Trevilley Cliff kerb cairn, I don't understand how the people responsible for the dumb signs could ever think they were a good idea (They're drilled into the rocks), and to then put the signs in the wrong places shows us clearly that they're absolute total idiots

Looks as though the magic editing pen's been used this time, it's in the drawer beside the magic glue ;-)
