Fieldnotes

Heading east from Dundee on the B861 park at the first gap after the North Gates farm. The wood on top of the hill also houses the Bronze Age cairn. By the time you've walked there the chances are that you've walked over two enclosures and a souterrain.

The cairn is huge, 40m wide and 2m high with loads of humps and bumps. There is a lot of cairn material lying about, there is also a lot of field clearance.

A Pictish stone, probably a recycled capstone, was taken to Linlathen House and promptly lost.

A nice large site to start the day.
