Black Hill Ring Cairn

Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 17th Aug 2025. My rating: Condition 1
Black Hill Ring Cairn submitted by rich32 on 3rd Jun 2005. Black Hill ring cairn, Black Hill, Low Bradley Moor, North Yorks, SE0081447654
This site is hidden under quite thick heather, the only way to spot it is by its banks, which still measure 40cm or so. In this picture the light brown reedy like thing just to the left of centre, is in the centre of the cairn circle.
Once at the site, up the hill & to the south east you can see the remains of Black Hill round cairn. Low Bradley long barrow is just to the east over a rise in the landscape.

This round cairn is 50meters SE of Low Bradley long barrow. It has a diameter of 30meters by 24meters, with a main north-south axis. There are a number of depressions within the cairn, probably a result of stone robbing.

I was on a minibus trip round Eday when I insisted on jumping out to take a picture of this; even though it was very misty. The other 6 people stayed firmly on the bus, although this was one of Eday's 'sights'. But despite the mist, I got a nice picture.

Breiddin Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2004. From the left Breiddin hill (also spellt Breidden) with New Pieces, centre and Moel y Golfa, right. Viewed from the south.
The hillfort on Breiddin hill made national news in July 2000 when the culmination of a decade of diligent deforestation showed the remains of this settlement, hidden for over 1500 years.
At well over 1000 feet above central eastern Powys (formerly Montgomeryshire), not far from the Shropshire border, the fort has a panoramic position. As one would expect, the extremel...

Log Text: a fair hike to the summit (Rodneys pillar which sadly has been condemned as too decrepid to repair) took me 3 hours and only 1 1/4 to come down. great long distance views from top. the ramparts are mostly in woodland but the main entrance can be seen as the path goes through it. the full size of them can only be appreciated by a visit-they stretch about a mile from NE to SW on the SE side.
quite an awesome build.
