Possible long cairn in Northumberland. This is a huge pile of rocks and is completely unexplored by archaeologists. It has a satellite cairn and is near the shooting butts. As the butts are clearly marked on the map and the trackway to them distinct in aerial images these are the best way of finding the long cairn.
