1.5” bolt in concrete, about 18” down in a 1’x1’ depression. Agent Mancuso was right. Freezing cold low temp and high wind, took a while for my hands to warm up after scraping mud and stone out of hole, also found a rusty fizzy drink can in hole. Approx 1.5 m north of fence line. At the highest spot. Left a small cairn adjacent, the spoil from the excavations. Good view down Loch Doon. comment: march 2021. i do wonder if there is a concrete ring here, i only dug the central bolt out as had very limited tooling in sub zero winds gloves actually froze......so next visitor bring digging kit!

Came from Enoch Hill via some intervening 5Ds & a great deal of stormfell that had me crawling on hands & knees in the mud through tunnels of fallen trees. In pouring rain, of course. Might be a nice summit, though hard to tell in the fog. Anyway, no immediate sign of BB, though I strongly suspect it's in the hole visible in the immediate centre foreground of the picture. I did excavate a few layers of stones by hand, but it could be a fair way down.
