Quarried, furze growing on top and cut by a track. Round Howe has not much longer left. They can’t take away the view, yet, this looking east.

Round Howe

The Round Howe goes into the category ‘of about to go’. It has been quarried, houked, and had its west side removed by a track. What survives lies beside a fence in a terrible state. Stones can be seen lying about in a circular area of about 10m but not much can be seen else except the view.

Leaving the A941 take the Archiestown road west, the B9102. Take the first minor road heading north west and keep going until it ends. From here head south past the Whiteacen Farm and jump the fence being careful not to jump straight into a ditch.

Not much to see which is a pity, an echo from a distant past.

Visited 14/7/2-17.
