Located in a prominent position on Carr Ridge with good all round views. It is beside the Cleveland Way on its way up to Round Hill, the highest point on the NY Moors. It is not shown on modern OS maps but marked as a tumulus on older OS maps. It is Pastscape Monument 27408 which describes it as a denuded bronze age cairn visible as a slight ground swelling 5m in diameter and 0.3m in high. Though covered in deep heather I think it stands out a bit more than pastscapes description suggests, even though the eye does tend to be distracted to the walkers cairn built at its northerly edge.
