Notes
HER: Monument consists of a roughly circular stony mound with a diameter of around 11 metres and a height of 1.75 metres. Greeves: A large circular possibly prehistoric barrow measuring approximately 11 meters by 9.0 meters, surviving to a maximum height of 1.75 meters. There is a hollow in the centre measuring, 4.0 meters maximum in diameter. An isolated granite block set in the north-east of the mound, and a granite stone lies in the hollow – this is possibly an old gatepost. Visited by author and Steve Szypko on 10/12/2025. This is quite a substantial cairn overgrown with dense vegetation. It can be clearly seen on both Lidar and Google Satellite.This site was formerly listed as Langdon, NE of. This was changed 10/12/2025 to Langdon Cairn.
