Re: Crooksetter Hill - two Chambered Cairns by Andy B on Friday, 20 July 2018

The Scheduling info says: The monument consists of the remains of a prehistoric chambered burial cairn, surmounted by a modern surveyors' cairn, on the SE summit of Crooksetter Hill.

The cairn, which has been mislocated on the Ordnance Survey 1:10 000 map, is of heel-shaped plan. The facade faces SE. The cairn is 13m across (NE-SW) by 8m. The interior is concealed by the modern cairn which surmounts it. A number of earth-fast boulders mark the outer kerb of the cairn.

The area to be scheduled is circular, centred on the modern cairn and measuring 30m in diameter, to include the prehistoric cairn and a small area around it in which evidence relating to its construction and use may survive, as marked in red on the accompanying map.

The other cairn is - Crooksetter Hill,chambered cairn near north west summit at HU417759
