The cairns are between 10 and 15 metres in diameter, and mostly still much more than a metre in height, made of rocks and stones.
The views from up here are sublime, with the Camel estuary from the north to south on the west side of the hill, which is otherwise surrounded by sand dunes, within which, to the east is the lovely little St Enodoc church.
After a couple of stormy days, the sea is fairly rough, and just after full tide, the waves are piling in and crashing on the shore, or breaking over the Doom Bar.
Beautiful.
