Very simple 15 minute walk up grassy track to historic county highpoint. Parking for about 10 cars at start, although can be busy.

You walk up steps then onto a grassy, waymarked trail up hill, which has a broad summit area covered in Neolithic monuments, especially the huge cairn/passage tomb, whose entrance is aligned with the rising sun during the spring and autumn exuinox, and dates from around 3,500BC.

There are also the remnants of multiple other ancient graves around the summit area. Up and down in 30 minutes.
