Cairns in Yorkshire (North), England
52 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
North Yorkshire is the largest county in England covering 3200 square miles. The landscape in the county is divided into two rough areas - the moors and the dales, with the Yorkshire coast edging the eastern side of the moors. The area has been occupied for many thousands of years and evidence of this exists today in the form of howes, standing stones, stone circles and rock art. Many of which are easily accessible to the visitor.
A mound of stones, often but not always covering a burial site. See the separate categories for Round Cairn, Ring Cairn and Clava Cairn. This category includes long cairns and other miscellaneous cairns.
