The still significant remains of a chambered cairn across the burn from the fabulous long cairn... this would be an inspiring spot if it wasn’t for the unsavoury habits of those (presumably locals, assuming tourists aren’t in possession of tins of emulsion) who come to deposit household rubbish here. It truly beggars belief. Seems a cherished tradition, too, the Ordnance Survey (J L D) commenting on 2 May 1960 “... It has been used as a rubbish tip..“. Scum are as scum behave.
Beyond contempt.

Such a shame. Having said that, it's a glorious looking spot and the colours in your photos are so vivid.
One wonders if they are born again christians, or something else as mindless as that? Surely no-one... surely?.... living up here could be so emotionless about the people who farmed here before otherwise? Let us righteous deface Satan's stones!
I can't get my head round why people in South Wales drag mattresses and fridges up hills when the tip is nearer, so I doubt looking for a sensible explanation is worth the effort :)
