Notes
Butler: " A stony mound on the edge of the leat ... is probably a prehistoric cairn. It has been dug into and the stones scattered outwards from a central pit, but there is no sign of a cist. Possibly this is the ruined cairn that Burnard 'examined in Brimpts newtake but without result'" (Barrow Report 22).References
