Ring Cairn in Yorkshire (North)
This ring cairn / cairn circle lies on the Black Hill part of Low Bradley Moor. Its quite difficult to find as its under heather, but you can just about make out the banks of the circle. It has a diameter of about 20meters and only a few stones are visible in the centre.
Its 50 meters NW of Black Hill round cairn & 80 meters W of the long barrow. Interestingly, the location chosen for this ring cairn is on a dip & its one of the few areas on top of the moor where the long barrow cannot be seen.
This 'incomplete circular bank barrow or ring barrow' is recorded as part of Pastscape Monument No. 48086. The Journal of Antiquities also mentions this cairn, now "only just visible … but now virtually lost in the thick heather" in their entry for the Bradley Long Cairn, Farnhill, North Yorkshire - scroll down to the bottom of their web page for more information.
