Cairn at NZ 70798 06290

Uploader's Comments

Whilst walking between the cairn at NZ 71298 06622 and the cairn at NZ 70766 06151 both of which are marked on the OS map I came upon this cairn at NZ 70798 06290 which is of a similar size. Though low in profile it stood out with the heather in this area having been recently burnt off. This view was taken in the first week in October 2013 looking in a northerly direction towards the village of Danby which can be seen in the distance.
