Consisting of a mound of earth and stones 36m in diameter and up to 0.5m high, this site is accessed by a short walk from the viewpoint car park on Jeffrey Hill. The site of the cairn is easily recognized by the modern hiker’s cairn, but the remains are unspectacular, however on a clear day the views to Parlick Pike, Wolf Fell & Fairsnape Fell are superb.
