Wolf Pit

Round Barrow(s)

thesweetcheat May 6, 2010

Approached from the south (25.4.2010), there are a couple of mounds here – the smaller is one of the neatly constructed drystone grouse butts that dot the moors, the second (next to a bridleway sign) is this huge round barrow, 35m across and sporting the usual evidence of excavation on its top.
