Halfway Wall Cairn – 30.3.2004

This cairn is only about 100m north of halfway wall. Despite it’s tiny height (the English Heritage report says 0.11m high – that’s 11cm!) this is easier to spot than many of the other cairns on the island, because 1, it’s a relative high point in the area, 2, it’s close to the 4x4 track, and 3, there are lynchets running from it.
