Whitton Edge, Hare Law
Ring Cairn
NT 74080 18932
This ditched cairn lies on a broad terrace in the angle between the public road and Dere Street (NT71NW 52). The cairn is reduced to a low stony spread measuring about 6m in diameter, set within a ring-ditch about 1.7m across and 0.3m in depth, apart from on the E where it fades away to a slight depression. There are also traces of a possible external bank on the W arc. Circular cattle feed bins have been placed in the vicinity of the cairn, leaving slight earthworks composed of a low tump surrounded by a broad, shallow ditch, which are visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1994, C40498, C40500, C40502).
