markj99 visited on 27th Apr 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 I found Cambret Moor Cairn by walking to the OS Grid Reference. It is almost invisible in rough moorland. The exposed cist was visible in a central circle confirming the description in Canmore. It is c. 100 yards N of Cambret Moor Worked Stone (Canmore ID 63681) and The Penny Stone (Canmore ID 63679).The cairn is on my OS Route for Cairnharrow Summit Cairn.
Cambret Moor Cairn is a round cairn measuring c. 7.5m in diameter and 0.5m in height according to Canmore ID 90631. It has been almost entirely robbed out, leaving a footprint of moor grass which is almost invisible in the rough moorland. There is a large stone on the perimeter of the E Arc, possibly a kerb stone and a rough circular hollow c. 2m across in the centre of the cairn. A small stone setting remains on the NW Arc of the hollow opposite an exposed cist stone in the S Arc of the hollow.
