Cairn in Lancashire. A large round cairn on the summit of Parlick Hill, the circular mound is 17m in diameter and up to 1.4m high, it is mostly turf and stone covered with many lose stones which are periodically rearranged into circles or cairns by hikers. The site is easy to locate on the summit of Parlick Pike being situated by a stile over a barbed wire fence which bisects the cairn, but the climb is long & steep.
