Cairn, Pike Low, diameter 50ft, height 7ft. (2)

SK 180897. Pike Low round cairn, Scheduled. (5)
Dimensions: L: 17.0m, B: 15.0m, H: 1.3m The lack of a visible retaining circle noted above, does not preclude the possibility that this exists. The central disturbance is up to 0.7m deep, and this may be an undocumented excavation, rather than stone robbing. (7)
Site monitoring has been carried out. See record for details. (9)
