Pitcarmick Burn 3

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Sep 8, 2020

Between Pitcarmicks 2 and 3 there is a small saddle to be crossed before climbing up the small hill to the west. Like its neighbours it is superbly situated with the same glorious all round views.

This cairn is slightly smaller than its neighbour, to the east, being 6m wide and 0.5m tall. The cist remains in place but is gradually being overgrown with heather. A possible capstone also rests to the west of the cairn.

With the legs rapidly tiring, time for a final site for this days hike.
