| notes:- |
Wainwright mentions 2 cairns, lying N-S, the lower being the 'tower'. |
|
| On a fairly modern 6inch map there are 3 cairns, lying E-W/N-S. |
||
| Onsite Jean saw 2 larger cairns, lying E-W; nos.1 and 2, and cairn 3 further off to
the S than the map shows, no.3 |
||
| On the OS County series sheet Wmd 13 1 there is a currick to the N of the pike; but
these cairns are not curricks? |
