Cairn in Yorkshire (North)
Located near Brimham Rocks, Pastscape Monument 52021 records this site as 'an alleged cairn cemetery', adding: "Two cairns, forming part of a group on Graffa Plains: one, 12 ft. in diameter and situated about 150 yards north west of the first large group of rocks upon the south east boundary of Brimham Moor, and about 50 yards south east of the trackway leading to 'Riva Hill Farm'; the other cairn 9ft. in diameter and 100 yards south west of the first. Both excavated in 1908 by A. L. Armstrong. Nothing was found except 'black earth' and charcoal suggesting cremations and two shaped sandstone blocks, possibly grain rubbers."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this now little-known, possibly destroyed (?) tumulus - see their entry for Graffa Plain, Hartwith, North Yorkshire. TNA give directions for finding this site, together with an early OS map showing the location of the tumulus, and in their 'archaeology & history' section explore the different references for this site.
