Farther up the hill from the single rock pile (from my last post), there was more. A nice line of cairns running up hill.

This is the first cairn:



There were a few spots in the line where cairns probably once stood, now rock piles. But toward the top of the hill, there were some very nice cairns in a row, heading SSE:

But, there's more. Near the top of the hill, by the larger cairns, was a boulder and more. Here's one picture:



The rest of the pictures will be in my next post.
