Snowdon Cairns (Dartmoor)
Snowdon Cairns (Dartmoor) submitted by Bladup : Snowdon Cairns (Dartmoor), the top of the second cairn from the south (Vote or comment on this photo)
Four cairns on Dartmoor in a rough north/south line, each cairn gets smaller as you go towards the north. The three southern cairns are spaced 120m apart, the smallest northern one is 175m away and not marked on the OS map.

Snowdon Cairns (Dartmoor)
Snowdon Cairns (Dartmoor) submitted by Bladup : Snowdon Cairns (Dartmoor), the fourth cairn from the south (yeah the most northerly then!) and the smallest. The cairns get smaller as you head towards the north (I imagine ther must be a reason for this). This the most northerly cairn is also slightly further away than the evenly spaced out other cairns, Ryder's hill cairn is in the background on the left (Vote or comment on this photo)
