Longside Moor ring cairn. It’s really hard to get a photo of this, but it’s obvious when you’re there, as long as you know what you’re looking for. Otherwise it just looks like a farm-related pile of soil. The manure heap next to it doesn’t help. But it is pretty substantial, and quite sad. Maybe some sunshine and summer would make it feel less depressing. 1.2.2026

Under the bracken and trees are 2 arcs of low bank. Approx. 20x19m in diameter.
Marsden in 1977 reckoned it was a ring cairn with central cairn.
Barnatt in 1989 said it was upcast from robbing the SE side of a small cairn.
Marked as an Enclosure on O.S maps.
