More information : [SD 64614052] On the summit of a local rise on
THORNLEY HALL FELL is a much denuded cairn. Despite the thick
heather the perimeter can be traced for most of its length
but is clearest on the south side. The cairn is c. 29.0m in
diameter with a maximum height of o.5m. There are signs of
recent disturbance a little to the north of the centre. There
is no trace of a ditch, or kerb.
Mr. JENKINSON, Hon. Corr. drew attention to this site. (1)
The remains of this cairn have been surveyed at 1/2500. Its
position is at SD 64534047 and its condition unchanged. See
also large scale plan attached for detailed comments. (2)
Survey of 23.1.62 revised. Burning off the heather has revealed
that the cairn has a well-defined consolidated base. (3)
