Birchen Edge 1
Birchen Edge 1 submitted by stu : Hard to find, even harder to photograph. The cairn on the NE side of the ring cairns bank is the clump of heather in the centre of the picture, the overgrown bank of the ring cairn roughly follows the line of the grass. A bit of a let down.

Ring Cairn in Derbyshire

According to John Barnatt (1990) this is a possible ringcairn discovered in 1982 on the edge of a cairnfield with a continuous bank 2.5m wide and circa 22m in diameter. A higher cairn is superimposed on the bank to the north-east.
