This giant cairn is located on Greenber Edge, nr Bainbridge, North Yorkshire.
Thought to be the largest cairn in the Yorkshire Dales, it measures 34.5 meters in diameter & still stands proudly to a height of 2.4 meters. Although much reduced by heavy stone robbing & some early excavations, it still remains a magnificent site.
50 meters to the east is an early mediaeval settlement.
