Goodaver Round Cairn
Goodaver Round Cairn submitted by rogerkread : Sorry it's such a bad picture, but at least the site now has one. Very wet day, no easy access to the cairn from the circle and this was the best I could do. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Cornwall

From Pastscape:

"The remains of a large hilltop cairn situated in
enclosed moorland. The cairn comprises a turf-covered
stoney mound approximately 19.5m in diameter and up to 0.7m high;
there is no surface evidence of a kerb or cist."

Goodaver Round Cairn submitted by rogerkread : Another shot of the 'outlier' to show its hole more clearly. Maybe the hole has been dug recently so it can be placed in it? Someone may know. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Goodaver Round Cairn
Goodaver Round Cairn submitted by rogerkread : Hidden amongst the trees to the SE of the circle but within its field is this fallen stone. Could it be an outlier for the circle? The base is clearly shaped to fit the hole just beyond it, and it would seem to have been displaced quite recently. Doesn't look agricultural. (Vote or comment on this photo)
