Finding the summit
higher ground may exist under cairn; trig point 15m SW by mast at NO 13212 88643 is 5cm lower than cairn base; summit area has been levelled for construction of mast and building.
The recorded summit point is embedded rock 4m S of large cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.
