Notes
Gorse covered cairn close to track.Butler p.116 A much smaller cairn (5.5 x 0.3 m high) lies on open ground on the opposite side of he track. The turf-covered surface is uneven but does not appear to have been dug. Another irregular mound of similar size lies a few metres to the south. It is quite normal for small satellite cairns like these to be sited on the slopes around a large summit cairn. See also Butler Fig 1.1 p.117.
