A Strange Structure I had no idea what this is, or rather was, before someone set fire to it.

Track to Helenamore The older map shows this track going on to Helenamore. However the later maps suggest that is actually fizzles out, so it's just as well I didn't try to go the whole way along it.

Ten Padlocks Interesting how many different people or organisations apparently need access to Windyheads Hill. I am still trying to deduce exactly how this system works. I surmise that removing one of the vertical blocks allows the rest to be pushed aside just far enough to slide the bolt over.

Aerial on Windyheads Hill I don't know what this aerial is for, but it must be for some sort of military purpose because the sign reads, "M O D Property".

Windyheads Hill The map shows a triangulation pillar close to the aerial on the left, but I could not find it. Either the map is misleading, or the trig point has been swallowed up in the vegetation.
