SolarMegalith saw from a distance on 29th Apr 2013 - their rating: Cond: 4
This large Bronze Age cairn is located on the summit of a ridge, a dominating position over surrounding landscape. The monument is in good condition, it has 20m in diameter and is 3m high, some of the kerbstones on its perimeter are still in situ.
