Low Longrigg NE submitted by TheCaptain on 4th Oct 2017. Very hard to find in very long grass on very uneven and boggy ground, amongst many cairns all over the place.
Further up the ridge I again found what I thought was the remnants of a stone circle, but was not 100% convinced, but seemed too far from what I thought was the SW circle for them to both be correct.
