Notes
HER: Cairn 800 metres east-north-east of Big Pond lies on the south west facing slope of Lee Moor south of Cross Dyke reave and south west of Cholwich Town contour reave. It consists of a mound 8 metres in diameter and 0.5 metres in height, with a high proportion of stone in its make up. It has a hollow in its east side. The cairn lies west of several enclosures and stone hut circles which are the subject of separate schedulings. Despite some disturbance the cairn survives well in an area containing numerous monuments relating to settlement, land use and burial in the Bronze Age period.References
