Bent's Hill Round Cairn submitted by MonumentMan : The round cairn seen looking east (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Cairn in Cumbria. Bent's Hill Round Cairn, NW of the old Lime Kiln. Probable Neolithic round cairn with past excavation by Greenwell uncovering primary burials of the disarticulated remains of 3 adults, 7 adolescents and 2 children. The cairn measures 11m in diameter and 1.2m high. Mainly turf covered with only a few limestone and sandstone slabs visible. The hilltop cairn overlooks unusual outcrops of sandstone geology, emerging from beneath the upper limestone, near Bents Farm.

This cairn being one (A) of two cairns on Crosby Garrett Fell (A&B).
