West Benthoul

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Nov 26, 2016

Head almost 100 meters back west from the Easterhill site keeping an eye for two large boulders. These mark the south side of the cairn, to the west there is another kerb still in place. These certainly give the cairn a sense of presence amongst the fallen trees and ferns. No gorse or furze here, what a boost!!

The site sits at 9 metres wide and is over 0.5 metres high. Another nice place in a very pleasant wood on a very pleasant Autumn day.

Visited 8/11/2016.
