Notes

A possible cairn not far from the road on Cripdon Down. There is no entry for a cairn at this location on the HER but there is an entry for a Wind Pump. HER: 'wind pump' shown on os 6" (1963) map. See: MDV31033. Perhaps this could be the foundations for such a structure but it looks very much like a cairn!
