A pair of cairns upon the southern side of the Roman road.
The most eastern (SH709720) is quite impressive, with a very defined ring and considerable height to the monument, especially when viewed to the north west. This is worth a visit.
The most western (SH705721) is hard to discern indeed, and is reminiscent of Eyam Moor II and III in terms of its near subterranean character and smothering of bilberries. It has a deep robbed out centre, and some cairn stones can be made out on its western side.
For both of these, careful footing, and accurate map reading using the pylon bases as points of reference is imperative for a visit.
