Cairn at wall end on southeast edge of Addlebrough Well constructed cairn at the end of a wall that reaches the plateau of Addlebrough in the southeast corner. I assume the wall at one time closed the gap between the cairn and point where the picture was taken to complete a field boundary which has become superfluous.

Field barn above the River Bain The little River Bain is hidden in the fold of the hills, whilst the barn, although typical of Dales barns, is slightly unusual in that it sits in the middle of a field rather than at a junction of two or three.
