A further isolated barrow stands on its own on the western shoulder of Tan Hill, to the east of the main group at SU07866490. EH description:
The barrow stands to a height of 1m, surrounded by a 2m deep quarry ditch, from which material was obtained during its construction. This has become infilled over the years but survives as a buried feature. A shallow depression on the centre of the barrow suggests the site has been partially excavated, probably in the 19th century, although no details are known.

"The fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal. Always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest; always there will be the exhilaration of the summits. These are for the seeking, and those who seek and find while there is still time will be blessed both in mind and body." Alfred Wainwright
"The movers move, the shakers shake, the winners write their history. But from high on the high hills, it all looks like nothing." Justin Sullivan
