Notes
HER: Eastern of three cairns of 3.9 metres diameter by 0.6 metres high within the cairn cemetery on Long Ridge ... Two well-preserved cairns and a further probable cairn lie in an area of low heather and long tufty grass on the gentle N-facing slope of Langridge.SX 64418611. The E cairn, 3.9m in diameter and 0.6m high, is similarly steep-sided with two large boulders embedded in the otherwise flat top. A single upright stone, possibly part of a former kerb, is situated in the edge of the cairn.
