Three Howes Rigg (West)
The small upright stone (0.35m by 0.1m with 0.8m exposed above the ground) mentioned in the site description is now missing and has been since about 2012.
The Megalithic Portal and Megalith Map:
A four figure grid reference for Rock Art is another big ask. However in Brown and Chappel’s book Prehistoric Rock Art in the NY Moors , 2012 Edition they list 4 items in this area (page 268) all of which are built in or are nearby a dilapidated section of drystone walling which runs along the top of a banked earthwork known as Park Pale which marked the boundary of a medieval hunting park on Warren Moor itself.
The Megalithic Portal and Megalith Map:
I can’t find any historic sources that says there was a hill fort at this location. There is a cross dyke close by at NZ 68207 03985 in fact this is pretty close to the six figure cross reference given .It is marked on the OS map as High Stone Dyke and is Historic England List Entry number 108770 which describes it as the southern cross dyke of two on Castleton Rigg.
Old Castle Hill [Old Castle Hill Stones] Stone Row
