Berry Holme

Berryholme Round Cairn is situated just off the public right of way leading from Briggs House Farm, to Brigsteer some two miles away.

Initially it looks little more than a grassy mound in the corner of a field, however closer inspection reveals some of the exposed part of the stone core of the cairn. Not a very well preserved site, as there’s an old shelter of some sort built into the side of the mound itself....but seeing as it’s on a less well known footpath, the damage done will probably not be increased by too many tourists or walkers.
