The relatively isolated Cairn W, down on the eastern slope of Carnbane East, is my favourite tomb on the hill, tranquil and bereft.

Close up of cairn W at approx. 7.00am 20-3-05, the fog prevented any Equinox sun entering Cairn T so we made do getting atmospheric shots of the satellite tombs and artwork.
