200 hundred metres from Cartron mound, I couldn’t get close to this due to vicious barbed wire and livestock. It looks a superb example of its type but what is really intriguing are the large stones on its top. These resemble the wreck of a tomb from a distance and I left here mildly annoyed that I couldn’t investigate any closer.
