White Brow Cairn

The monument includes a round cairn located on a local high point 280m west of Old Harpers Farm. It includes a slightly oval mound of turf covered stones up to 0.4m high with maximum dimensions of 12m by 11.5m.

Despite minor disturbance to the monument’s surface, the round cairn 280m west of Old Harpers Farm survives reasonably well. It is an unexcavated example of this class of monument and will therefore retain undisturbed archaeological deposits within the mound and upon the old landsurface beneath.
