Cairn in Yorkshire (North)
The cairn has a diameter of 10.5m and height of 1.5m on the W side where it has been built to include a large erratic boulder.
It is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 48250 which says: "The cairn has a diameter of 10.5m and height of 1.5m on the W side where it has been built to include a large erratic boulder. On the E side it is between 0.2m and 0.5m high. Another large boulder is situated on the N edge of the cairn. The centre of the cairn is much disturbed; stones have been removed to build up the sides of the monument to create a windbreak. A few stones remain in the centre, protruding from the heather and a well defined kerb of stones is visible around the E edge of the monument."
The monument is scheduled as Historic England List Entry 1010555 and also features on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their page for Devil’s Apronful, Appletreewick, North Yorkshire. TNA give us directions for finding the cairn together with an 1853 map and a brief archaeology & history.
