| I had a root round for this one but there's not much to see (assuming that the site is accurately marked on the OS 1:25000 map) There does seem to be a semi-circular feature to the west of the fence that it evident by the growth of heather more than anything else and a slight change in the vegetation to the north and south where the track beside the fence passes through the cairn. Might be worth a look for the bank in winter. |

| I believe there used to be another cairn, a little further up the path called "Dukes Road" .I think it was called "Apron Full Of Stones". |

| Although quite large 27m across it's very hard to find the rubble ring of this robbed cairn...lost amongst the heather in summer. |

| There is a legend of a great battle being fought on Broomhead Moor. The nearby Canyard Hills is said by some to mean "The Hills Of The Soldiers" There is also a valley near here called Dwarriden. Taken to mean "The Valley Of The Dwarves". With the legend of the battle in mind, it could make sense of the Bar Dyke. |
