Middleton Muir 4

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Aug 15, 2020

The fourth cairn I visited on Middleton Muir is a short and simple walk west thru burnt heather passing quite a few well preserved hut circles.

Some kerbs remain in place in what have been sizable cairn which still sits at 11m wide and 0.5m tall. It has the same beautiful scenery as its near neighbour.

Benachally gets closer.
