Mag and the Bairns on Needs Law A large cairn and a smaller example at the summit of Needs Law, much of which has been quarried for forestry road stone. These cairns (was there perhaps a third?) were used by shepherds in the 19th century as a reference point in foggy conditions. In the distance, Peel Fell still holds some patches of snow whilst Deadwater Fell is to the right. This photograph was taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020/21.
