Rough Hill Round Cairn
Rough Hill Round Cairn submitted by MonumentMan : Looking east over the cairn to Helton (1m ranging pole and north arrow) (Vote or comment on this photo)
Notable remains of a disturbed Bronze Age Round Cairn identified on OS Maps between Cockle Hill and Rough Hill, some 490m East-North-East of Rough Hill Tarn. A visible mound of clean stones and boulders measuring 12x9m and 0.4-1m high.

At least one larger boulder is found on the southern edge of the cairn. It is possible the cairn has been excavated/disturbed and added to by field clearance in the past.
