Im not really convinced about this being a cairn but it is marked as such. It seems to me to be a rock formation with possibly some cairn material piled up against it but I’m pretty dubious. Would be interesting to see the OS notes attached to this one.
Perhaps the cairn has been removed but I dont see who would go to the bother. Use moutainviews.ie for directions up.
