The remains of a prominent Round Cairn on north end of The Tongue, Troutbeck Park, part of a pair of cairns 1+2.
A scattered oval mound of clean stones up to 0.5m high with dimensions of 14m by 10m. Close to the cairn's centre lie two large stone slabs 1mx1.5m from the remains of a burial cist. Two modern shelters have been built on the northern end of the cairn using stones from the cairn and a slab from the cist. They face open to the north: one is like a small turret big enough to fit a shepherd and the other is a low cave, small enough to fit a shepherds dog!
