Brearah Tramway Cairn submitted by rogerkread : A slightly different angle. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Easily identifiable cairn beside the tramway on Bearah Moor - this is the one marked as a cairn on the 1:25 000 map. The more entertaining but harder to find cist lies a little to the east (see nearby sites list).
