Cairn Circle, Moor Divock
Marked as 'Cairn Circle' on the OS maps, this 10m round cairn on Moor Divock, Askham Fell in Cumbria is a Bronze Age burial mound.
Forming a 6m circle round the top of this cairn are 10 large boulders with smaller stones in between. Investigation into the centre of the ring cairn found an adult cremation and two sherds of pottery covered by a layer of sand. Above the sand was a food vessel (a Yorkshire Vase) which is now in the British Museum.
The cairn is situated upon an alignment of several funerary monuments stretching for over 1.5km along the natural communication route over the fell.
