Two cairns, forming part of a group on Graffa Plains: one,
12 ft. in diameter and situated about 150 yards north west of
the first large group of rocks upon the south east boundary of
Brimham Moor, and about 50 yards southeast of the trackway leading
to 'Riva Hill Farm'; the other cairn 9ft. in diameter and 100 yards
south west of the first. Both excavated in 1908 by A. L. Armstrong.
Nothing was found except 'black earth' and charcoal suggesting
cremations and two shaped sandstone blocks, possibly grain rubbers.

The indicated area is on the edge of an extensive moorland region
thickly covered with outcropping rock and natural hillocks. A
thorough ground inspection revealed no evidence of any cairns.
