Re-visit. Mist on upper slopes, which lifted as I descended.

Rod marker in exposed concrete block inside larger of the 2 summit shelter cairns. Pleasant walk in from roadside pull-in parking at NC 2502 1617.

What a day, what a view. Burned brightly into my memory. One of the classics.

Great walk the mist cleared at the top to reveal Suilven. I clearly remember seeing the concrete block but at the time i was unaware that surface blocks existed.

In cloud, no view. No trig details noted, but OS records indicate it was built as a SB ie never a pillar. Close encounter with group of ptarmigan who were counting on being invisible in the mist
