Pastscape Monument no. 13162. No name given, so I've taken one from the nearest named feature, the woodland downslope. I can add little to the Pastscape information, but it's a grand location with huge views, except to the north. Sunbiggin Tarn and many other ancient sites can all be watched over by the cairn's occupants. Visited by me 040320.
The cairn is also scheduled as Historic England List Entry No. 1011150 (Round cairn 450m south-east of Castle Folds).
