The deserted summit barrow.

The southwest entrance through the defenses.

Inside of Robin Hood’s Cave.

View along the southern line of caves, the ones to the north are heavily overgrown.

Robin Hood’s Cave

Sea views don’t come much finer than this.

Flat topped Iron Age square barrow.

A square barrow.

Three upright stones from the central cist.

The Silbury Game at Howden. Julian did well to spot this one, as you walk up the steep road to Broxa, Blakey Topping appears on the horizon but the effect can only be seen in a few places where the trees lining the road thin out. Once you get up to Broxa, farm buildings and clutter obscure the view again.

A section of Gallows Dike looking north.

One of the barrows at the north end of Horcum, close to the road.

Modern graffiti on one of the eastern stones.

Looking west from near the south entrance. The curve of the bank is to the top left while the recent entrance from the main path is to the top right and shows the height of the bank.

Entrance to the south (the small dark patch lower left of centre) with stones either side and the inner part of the circle to the right.

Part of the bank.

Remains of the cairn near the centre.

Was this one of the standing stones from the circle?

Stones the form part of the bank (?) of the circle.

A prehistoric guardian of the moor?

Viewed from the stile on the track that leads northeast-southwest near the eastern edge of the moor.

Looking northwest with the moor behind.

View down the Hope Valley showing the hills on the northern edge.

I love Spaceship Mark’s comment about the road protesting hill, this is what happened to this particular puny attempt to skirt Mam Tor.

View looking southwest from the top of the northern mound. The rim of the mound’s crater is in the foreground with the two other cairns/barrows beyond. The trees in the background are Wheeldale Plantation.

The northern mound with the smaller middle mound to the right.

Two slabs at the base of the northern mound. Are they part of the barrow or a modern addition?

Pen Howe looking south from near the cattle grid.

The barrow looking north.

Stones at the base of the barrow. Are they from it, or just clearance?

A small amount of erosion on the top of one of the holed stones. Not enough to indicate that it had stood here for several thousand years I wouldn’t have thought.

The large slab-like stone with views down towards the sea on the left

One of the pair of stones at the north end of the moor where the road forks.

The badly fissured standing stone, looking east.

The standing stone with coins jammed into the cracks and even sticking out of the side. Idiots.

The three fallen slabs – dark and heavily pitted. The second set of stones is in the distance.

Looking west. The standing stone with the three fallen stones to the left. The stones of the second setting are in the near distance to the right of the standing stone.

Looking south from somewhere near the north and of the very rough row.

Looking north from the end (?) of the line of stones.

Stone near the middle with modern grafitti. Does this indicate the stones were used as way-markers?
