Image of Birchen Edge North (Ring Cairn) by stubob

05/03. The front of the bank is sorta in the foreground along the line of the tuft of spiky grass. The grass on left of pic is inside the ring cairn.
‘No wait it gets better’. The cairn on the NE corner, that kinda gives the ring cairns location away. .....Is right behind the tuft o’ spiky grass.

Birchen Edge North

This ring cairn is quite near to the road but is still tricky to find. A bit more visible(??) than the Birchen Edge South ring cairn, but also not very impressive.
At around 20x20m the 2m wide banking is just about covered by peat, grass and heather.
A cairn is built on to the NE corner of the bank (.....no really).
Excellent views across Ramsley and Big Moors. Nelson’s ships on Birchen Edge itself are visible quarter of a mile away across the moor, to the South(ish).
