A favourite place; Take the Roman Wheeldale road, you first come across two holed stones at the meeting of two roads, travel across the moor noting waymarking/ moved prehistoric stones maybe, along the road, and on your right you will see these three cairns.

Follow the road down to the beck and across the ford but not before stopping and contemplating the sheer beauty of the place. Keep going, and if you are just a little interested in a paved Roman road, it is about mile further, apparently it has a barrow at the end but couldn't find it.

See from Fitzcolorado notes that the road may be earlier than Roman...
