Notes

"Small disturbed flat-topped stony mound measuring between 4.2 and 5.9 metres, lies approximately 30 metres to the north of the group of three cairns on the south slope of Whittor. Surveyed in 2003". This cairn is recored by Phil Newman in reports dated 2003 and 2018. The current author visited on 27th May 2022 and the photo is presumably the site in question. It is so runinous and amorphous that initially I was not it is just natural but it is clearly a cairn. The HER gives the NGR as SX 54345 78413 - this is at SX 54348 78421 about 8 metres to the north.
