The Carningli Throne


I have commented on this before -- but now I have a better photo, taken a few days ago.  It looks like a stone armchair or throne, and it's located quite high up on the southern flank of Carningli, near the highest of the "ty unnos" cottages on public access land (not on the common).

The walls are ruinous now, but I'm sure that this was once a little building, about the size of a ty bach -- the door is still traceable, in the R foreground. Off the photo to the left are the other ruinous walls.

It's a wonderful place to sit and admire the view -- but what on earth was this building originally?  And how old is it?
