Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
This small cairn of surface-gathered stones measures 1.5m across. Its location high on Harland Edge, in association with two further small cairns and the Hob Hurst's House barrow, suggests it is a Bronze Age funerary structure. (1)
This prehistoric cairn standing in open moorland close to the escarpment of Harland Edge has been scheduled. It comprises a low gritstone mound occupying gentle sloping ground. The cairn measures 1.5m x 2m and stands 0.3m high. There are no signs of previous disturbance. It is thought the size and location indicate a funerary function and that it is Bronze Age in date. (2)
Site monitoring has been carried out and site appears not to be under threat. (3)
