Looking down on the western cairn from the eastern. The western cairn is much smaller – visible as a lighter green circle with a small amount of stonework showing (to the right of centre).

Small upright stone just downhill from the cairns at SX 25147116, on the way up from Walla Barrow. The Cornwall HER suggests it is natural, but I’m not so sure.

Those who venture west of the Hurlers will come across these two cairns over near the small engine house known as Silver Valley. From here it is a pleasant walk towards the Craddock Moor sites.
