Notes
Butler: AT the base of Narrator Brookhead 1 "on the west side are two tiny mounds nomore than 2.5m across containing upended slabs, miniature cairns like those at the foot of Giant's Basin". No entry in NMR or HER.NB. Butler gives a grid reference for these two satellite cairns at SX 5864 6931 which is the cairn circle attached to the stone row at the western end and not Narrator Brookhead 1. A rare mistake by Butler. Thanks to Steve Szypko for assistance in locating this cairn. NB. The HER entry for MDV3375 includes a reference to the Cairn 2 and Cairn 3 (no seprate record)
