Cairn in Lancashire
This cairnfield on Bleara Moor is described as a new find (May 2010) by The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Bleara Moor Cairnfield, Earby, Lancashire, which includes directions for finding this site, together with a photograph and description. TNA adds they found this scattering of a dozen or so small cairns thanks to the burning back of the heather.
The Journal of Antiquities also mentions this site as part of their entry for Bleara Lowe, Earby, Lancashire.
