Looking north east, this gives an idea of the cairn’s footprint.

Coire Molach 2

I headed north and uphill from the main cairn at Coire Molach. The first thing I spotted, apart from numerous canes, was an odd shaped tree growing in the middle of a cairn. The site’s footprint surrounds the odd shaped tree which appeared to me to be half dead and half alive.

This site is about 7 metres wide and is 1m tall, and has been houked. Some larger stones might be a displaced kerb. Stones are clearly visible to east and moss/green leaf covered in the north west.

I headed back to car in a circuitous route spying three more cairns. It is a safe bet that the whole ridge might be covered in prehistoric monuments.
