Notes
HER: Round cairn measuring 6.5 metres in diameter and standing up to 0.4 metres high. A shallow hollow in the centre of the mound suggests previous robbing or partial excavation. A slab of stone set on edge within the central hollow may be the remnants of a cist.Newman (2003): Eastern cairn (No. 19) of the two shown on the English Heritage survey of 2003
Previously listed on HER as 4120 - presumably deleted as a duplicate of 4116.
Formerly listed here as Roos Tor N. That naming has been dropped as it appears as part of a pair with Langstone Moor S.1
