Background
History
Situated close to the summit is a substantial burial cairn of the Early Bronze Age. A modern Triangulation station (aka. Trig point) is located on part of the cairn. Roman legions marched from Raedykes to Normandykes Roman Camp, somewhat east of Cairn Mon Earn as they sought higher ground evading the bogs of Red Moss and other low-lying mosses including the Burn of Muchalls. That march used the Elsick Mounth, an ancient trackway crossing the Mounth of the Grampian Mountains, lying westerly of Netherley.
