Fieldnotes
| This is a lovely little site, it consists of a cairn that has been robbed of much of it's stone fill leaving part of the cairn and a kerb consisting of large stones. There is also a stone row consisting of four large stones and a nearby Round barrow with a possible headstone. I visited this site with Moggymiaow after checking out her ? ruined circle on Hunt House Crag. There is a well defined track running from Hunt House road up to the Howe. The situation of the Howe is unusual as it is on the top of the hill rather than the prefered brow ( the usual site here-abouts). The site itself consists of a well defined kerb of large stones enclosing a cairn. The cairn appears to have been robbed of some of it's stone filling, some of which has been used to build a windbreak* within the kerb. The diameter of the circle is approx 12 metres. To the north of the circle is a row of four large stones aligned SE-NW. Approximately 50 metres north of the circle is an un-named barrow & trig point, this barrow has what appears to be a marker or head stone on its southern flank. *Fieldnotes amended to reflect the information from Hotaire regarding the recent structure within the kerb |
