Cairnfield in Yorkshire (North)

There are two separate groups of barrows around this grid location. These are recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 65562, which describes "a cairnfield on Standingstones Rigg now consisting of at least 41 cairns divided into two areas. There were at least 64 cairns originally but several have been destroyed by ploughing."

Also see Historic England List ID 1019799, which gives the grid references of the two separate areas as being centred around SE 98047 96859 and SE 98140 96989.

An extract of the HE entry reads: "The cairns are generally sub-circular mounds constructed from small and medium sized stones, although there are one or two which are more elongated in shape. Those in the southern part of the cairnfield are more prominent and well defined. Some incorporate large erratic boulders. Most cairns are between 3m and 6m in diameter, although there are a few both smaller and larger. They stand between 0.3m and 0.6m high. The majority are field clearance cairns which are the result of clearing the ground to improve it for agriculture, but some of the larger cairns were also used as burial mounds. Interspersed between the cairns, especially towards the southern end of the cairnfield, there are occasional traces of walling. These are interpreted as part of the field system which was in use with the clearance cairns. At the northern edge of the southern area there is a cup and ring marked rock. The rock is horizontal and measures 0.9m by 0.4m, oriented east to west. It stands 0.2m above the modern ground surface. On the upper face there is a shallow cup mark surrounded by three concentric rings. A shallow groove runs to the east from the outer ring to a second cup mark. The rock has been disturbed from its original position by forestry ploughing."
