Metal rod in block 5.7m SSW of centre of main cairn, thanks BigJ. Uncovered, easy find. From SSE, track, rough grass, firebreak and open forest.

Parked at Old Caberston, in a wide entrance at NT 3720 3769. Followed a new, unmapped, track partway, heading for a mapped break at NT 3681 3810, following it all the way up over steep rough ground. Block located quickly in heather due S of summit cairn, although over 2m less distance than the OS sketch, which stated 8m. With peregrinus, despite our apparent time difference.

Walked up from Old Caberston via the marked track which, in places, doesn't exist. Mast shown on map is absent as well. Bright frosty day encouraged me to spend a bit of time on this. Summit is very stoney but, after 45mins, stabbed what felt like a concrete slab. A bit of digging revealed a foot square slab with a 1/4" rod type bolt. Position is midway between the summit cairn and a low pile of stones situated due south of the cairn. (Ignore the small cairn to the SSE).

Had a good dig around, but lots of stones buried in the heather, so no luck. Suspect it mught be under the cairn.
