A gritstone cairn some 13m x 10m, and about 1.5m high, which has suffered some surface disturbance due to the activities of Enclosure period stone-getters, according to the SMR.

We visited on a particularly damp and misty day, hence the spooky picture.

To be honest, not worth a special trip, though Cown Edge Rocks are pretty cool.
