Trustach

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Dec 30, 2016

This cairn is situated in the first clearing mentioned in the fieldnotes for Hill Of Trustach. It has been badly damaged but has more stone content and has almost retained its circular shape. As well as the forestry damage it has been houked. Still a kerb of sorts remains on the edge of a cairn about 6 metres wide, 0.6 metres tall.

Now instead of all this taking paths nonsense I headed north west through the trees, which fortunately aren’t close together. Flukily it led me straight back to where I had started.
