Notes
HER referring to Butler:Cemetery comprising sixteen battered cairns along the spur to the south of Great Nodden. Another cairn was recorded on the summit in 1891 and two more show up only as crop marks bringing the total to 19 cairns. Those that survive are composed of small stones and all of them lie in a prominent position on the western slopes or on the summit of the ridge. A number have the appearance of ring cairns, a circular bank around a flat interior, but some were probably cairns of normal shape from which all the interior stones have been carted away.This is a master record and as such marked as a duplicate, see individual records for details.
