King’s Tor lies beyond – ‘rises’ is perhaps pushing it a little. Clearly monument intervisibility wasn’t a prerequisite here.

Not sure whether this was a super cist covered by two capstones... or one cap stone now broken in two?

The cairn at Grims Lake mire is to the north east of Grimspound,about 400 metres.It is easy to find if you follow the stream, in that direction, from where it touches the wall of the pound keeping to the left side to avoid the boggy ground.It has a nice kist within it that is set to the right side if you are looking north.
