Cairns, Fall Kneesend.
On the lower SW slopes of Fall Kneesend there is a group of at least twenty small cairns situated at a height of 320 m OD, immediately above and to the N of the Roman road described under No. 263 [NS91NE 30.04]. The cairns, which are largely grass covered and roughly circular in shape, measure from 3 m to 7.5 m in diameter and not more than 0.6 m high.
Towards the NW end of the group, and 250 m ESE of a stone sheepfold, there is a small circular enclosure (977164) which measures 8 m in diameter within a stony bank 1'5 m thick and up to 0.3 m high; several large boulders are visible around the outer perimeter, and close to the centre of the enclosure there is a low mound of earth and stones, 3'0 m in diameter and 0.3 m high. In the absence of excavation the function of this enclosure is uncertain, but it is possibly a burial-site similar to No. 168 [NS92SE 18].
