Summary
A roughly L-shaped mound is visible as a curvilinear earthwork bank up to circa 6m wide and 20m long, within a field forming part of a medieval field system on the south-facing slopes north-east of Lower Cadworthy Farm. A low raised area extending north-east of the mound might be evidence of spread mound material.
The mound is interpreted as the remains of a clearance cairn, possibly of medieval date.
