Set on the highest local point, the grass covered cairn seems to have been undisturbed. About 40' across and 6' high, there is an OS Trig Point in the middle of the cairn. There are extensive views to the north and mature, commercial forestry on its other sides.
Coflein site no. 304668
(A sad tale - to my chagrin, I got so excited photographing the trig point that I forget to photograph the cairn itself. I must now retrace the lengthy journey to capture the cairn on film.)
