Parking at track/ road junction to NW. A little boggy at first but otherwise nice sheep pasture . Gate. Moreorless straight up. Several mounds either side of wall visited. Luckily the bracken has died down. Dusk. Seems like the one at the mapped spot height is highest but hard to say. | Denise | 26/11/2023 |
