Cairn in Yorkshire (North)
"A cairn, known locally as "Kirk Howe" and visible as an ill-defined stony patch approximately 15.5m north to south and 19.0m east to west merging into ground level on the east side but about 0.2m high from the south side. There is no sign of a ditch but a shallow central depression marks the site of Hayes excavation. The site, littered by stone with several boulders placed in the hedgerow, is ploughed and currently seeded. "
