Parked at end of dirt road from Habost (NB 5396 5829). Walked out to coast and S until due E of the trig before heading to it. Obvious raised mound, bit like a saucer barrow, very heathery, the whole trig was covered but prodding the ground found central block with its rod-style rivet. Clearing the 3 arms and all the plastic sheeting from it took 4 of us 55 minutes to complete. Hopefully it will be a few years before the heather reclaims it. The central block and rivet here are unique for Curry Stools.

Under moss and heather in centre of obvious raised circular embankment in wild moor. Easy to find central square block with rivet but harder to reveal three flat concrete arms.white plastic sheet on top, mainly destroyed. Arms go SSE, W and NE. Left uncovered. With Richard, Jon and Dave.

A what now? Just like the man says. All in good order but slowly being reclaimed by nature, still easy to spot. Short but rough detour off the Heritage Trail. Cycled in from the North. Saw two Golden Eagles and a giant mutant Hoodie which didn't look much smaller! A wee man with his dug and quadbike collecting peat just a few hundred metres away :)

Curry Stool. On a peaty knoll surrounded by a square bund of peat. Digging in the centre I found a block with its small centre rivet immediately. The rest of it is covered by white polythene and buried. My trowel wasnt man enough to uncover much of it but I assume it has the usual 3 concrete legs as with the ones in NY square although slightly different design with square centre block, and legs buried. I left the block exposed. GPSr estimated accuracy to 2.1m. Desolate moorland with Muirneag the only feature of particular note; distant view of mainland hills.
