The Cloch
The Cloch submitted by lembas : Fence now completely gone, this site is marked as a cairn on the OS landranger map, there are still small stones scattered but hard to recognise as a cairn, plenty evidence of sheep rubbing on the stones, stone on the foreground looks like it could have been part of the circle. I could not find the nearby Bridgeton Hill cairn
