Not the largest of cairns – 0.9m high, according to Canmore and as suggested by the rucksack – but nonetheless a substantial monument, with remnants of kerb.

Not the largest of Bronze Age cairns but – particularly as set within a later hillfort – this is well worth a visit.

Tinto Hill – with a vastly larger cairn – is visible beyond.
