Hepburn Moor cairn (Tillside)

NU 07892384 In a former heather and bracken covered area now cleared by recent fires is a substantial cairn 9m in diameter with a maximum height of 1.4m.
The cairn has intermittent kerb stones around most of its circumference and appears to be little disturbed apart from some stone removal from its north-east side which has left the cairn with the appearance of having a flattish top.
Surveyed at 1/2500. (1)
