virtualsue visited on 1st May 2011 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 3 We live in Aysgarth and have been up Addlebrough a number of times over the years. The setting and views are incredible. The cairn is barely recognisable at this point, though the cup marks are interesting, shame about the partial OS benchmark on the best cup marked slab. I have seen photos of the trig point that used to be on the cairn, which looks as though it was made from stone taken from the cairn itself.
This cairn sits on the NW western edge of Addlebrough, which is a prominent hill SW of Aysgarth.
The cairn has almost been destroyed by stone robbing & the construction of a trig point (no longer extant) at its northern end. It has a diameter of 10.5m and reaches a height of roughly 60cm. Although the monument itself isn’t much to look at, its gradual destruction has exposed 3 cup marked rocks, 2 of which are quite impressive.
