Tredinney Cairn
Tredinney Cairn submitted by JimChampion : Looking south at the cairn from the footpath across Tredinney Common. In the distance is the ever-present tower of St Buryan's church. Nice enough view from here, but I imagine its a pretty blustery place for most of the year. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hut circle/cairn located on a ridge of Tredinney Common, between the hills of Chapel Carn Brea and Bartinne Castle.

Access Visible from the footpath across Tredinney Common between the National Trust's Chapel Carn Brea car park and Carn Euny. On private land, and guarded by cows.
