A cairn on this hilltop is probably modern.
NJ 2315 4667
A small collection of stones measuring c3m in diameter appears to make use of natural boulders, on the downslope side, against which further stones are set. It might be a clearance cairn (its slightly
hollowed centre would argue against this), or it could be the remains of a kiln associated with the possible farmstead noted under NJ24NW 24.
