Description

Nine Standards is a group of nine cairns located on the boundary between Hartley and Winton parishes. These cairns were mentioned in 1635 and are constructed using drystone techniques. They stand approximately 10 to 12 feet high and taper towards the top, making them very prominent in the landscape.
