Uploader's Comments

This cairn is at SE 88248 92618 and we are looking towards Blakey Topping in the distance which from this angle looks like a conical shaped hill . Blakey Topping is also known as the Sacred Hill. The green bracken shoots on the cairn itself in the centre of the picture help to mark it out from the surrounding moorland. Photo taken in the first week of June 2013
