A Curious Structure

What appears to be a cairn is actually a circle of stones with ferns growing inside as well and next to it. The linear puddle is the deeply rutted track, full of water after recent wet weather. Near top right is part of the spoil heap of the largest of the old slate quarries on the south-west side of the glen.
