Cairn in Yorkshire (North)

"Situated at SD 9866 7578 in a prominent position on the crest of a hill are the mutilated remains of a round cairn. It is made of turf-covered limestone rubble 1.3m high and probably measured about 11.5m overall diameter. (See enlargement). There is no definite kerb and the centre in intact. A modern wall runs off from the NE side."
