There is an alcove set into the face overlooking the valley but no indication of what the monument is supposed to be for. Some years ago a plaque was fixed onto a rock nearby which had a rather cryptic message on it ('upon that ziggurat' sticks in the mind). This has long gone but traces can still be found.
