Yellowmead SE cairn

Cairn(s)

thesweetcheat Dec 19, 2010

At length I head off, pausing to have a quick look at Yellowmead SE cairn. Doughnut-shaped from digging, there’s not a great deal left of this cairn to see, although it must have been a pretty fair size when built. The Yellowmead circles are not visible from it.

Yellowmead SE cairn

Cairn(s)

thesweetcheat Sep 22, 2010

Robbed out cairn, SE of the multiple stone circles. Description from Pastscape:

This cairn is on level ground at about 300m OD. It has been much robbed by digging away the centre from the north side where there is a 2.0m gap in the rim-like perimeter. Its diameter is 8.0m and rim height 0.4m. There is no trace of a
kerb or of a cist.
