The north east part of cairn at least shows some parts of it untouched by ferns.

The second cairn to survive at Craigiehowe, needs a severe haircut!

Craigiehowe 2

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Apr 16, 2019

The second survivor at Craigiehowe sits right next to were I parked so is in fact a very short walk, it felt longer as I’d probably walked over a mile to get to the cairn near the house.

Situated next to forestry track I hope this cairn survives as a few sites nearby have been completely trashed.

It sits at almost 8m wide and 1.5m tall being covered in turf, furze and ferns. On the north east side some of the cairn can be seen.

Next it was on to the carnage :-(
