Estate road rising towards Leading Stead Leading Stead is an ill-defined upland location named on OS maps as part of Arkengarthdale Moor - another of them! The estate road climbs only a short way up the slope which is on the south side of Arkengarthdale.

Chimney on moorland near Annaside Beck The chimney has the appearance of a currick when viewed from the estate road near to Annaside Beck both of which are to the left, out of view in the image. It must surely have been part of a small building yet there's very little evidence of one remaining: presumably the stone has been removed for use elsewhere. The valley below the moorland on which the chimney stands is Arkengarthdale.

Old Boundary Stone on Cocker One of several old stone markers stretching out across this desolate moor. However they were not put here to mark the county boundary, but more likely to show the parish boundary, because pre-1974 this area was still all within the North Riding of Yorkshire.

Old Sandstone Quarry on Great Cocker Show as disused on the 1880 25 inch to a mile map series and not show at all in 1854 6 inch to a mile maps. I guess it was maybe used for dry stone walling or for improving the road up to Tan Hill.
