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.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)
