A singular low Burial cairn on Swarth fell, a short walk from cold fell road. Reasonably easy to get to, and with some good views to the Irish sea and across to the prehistoric field systems of Tongue How and Stockdale Moor.
It is about 7m across, half a metre high, and has possible kerb stones. A couple of hollows looks like it could have been dug into at some point.
