At the top a lone fencepost marked the highest point. Did such a lone sentinel merit inclusion in my collection of "Fencepost Phenomena of the Scottish Highlands"? It is after all something of a mystery why it is there all on its own. Presumably it was simply left as a marker when the others were taken away. From here I could see what looked like the path to Meall na Teanga, although it wasn't very clear and I fully expected it to disappear fairly quickly higher up. However it isn't far to the summit and I still wasn't into the mist proper so I wasn't too worried.
