Looking approx north-east from Great Borne (across Hen Comb and Mellbreak) to a towering Grasmoor. The hint of lakes in shot are Crummock Water (top right) and Floutern Tarn (bottom left), the latter also with Bronze Age cairn placed above upon Floutern Cop.
The cairned mountain (left skyline) presides over a valley featuring rock art at the far end of both Buttermere (centre) and Crummock Water (extreme far top left). The viewpoint is Haystacks.
Grasmoor hides its becairned head in the clouds. Seen across Buttermere to the south.
At just over 850m OD, this must be one of England’s highest funerary monuments. Pastscape description:
Remains of a round cairn on the summit of Grasmoor. It consists of an oval-shaped mound of stones measuring 17.5m by 12.5m east-west. It measures up to 1m high on the on its downslope north side and 0.2m high on all other sides. On the monument’s summit there is a fellwalker’s shelter constructed from the stones which originally would have formed part of the round cairn.
