Notes
"A barrow was recorded somewhere near the summit of Gibbet Hill in 1891. Greeves recorded two ring cairns here in 1993 one of which is likely to be the same feature. This ring cairn lies around 20 metres west of the trig point. The cairn has a disturbed ring bank and measures about 18 metres in diameter."This record was missing and added after correspondence from Steve Grigg on 22/11/2024.
