A flat walk of about 500m east on thankfully drier and firmer ground leads to the second of the two long cairns.

Not much remains of the 19m long by 8m west/10m east wide by 0.5m tall long cairn. A few stones poke through the turf. The east end, the widest section, has a mohican of gorse which probably helps protect the site, it certainly makes it easier to spot.

Worth looking at if searching for The Grey Cairn.
