NZ0608 : Stone with waymark on Barningham Moor

taken 11 years ago, near to Barningham, County Durham, England

Stone with waymark on Barningham Moor
Stone with waymark on Barningham Moor
There are various rights of way on Barningham Moor; the one indicated by the waymark was being followed (more or less) with no actual route on the ground when the stone was come upon. A GPS receiver reading gave the stone location as being quite off the route as mapped - the second such discrepancy on the route - see Link
The small cairn beside the stone is of a few rocks and a breeze block! The breeze block is used by the estate keeper(s) as a reservoir for 'grouse grit' - a common enough feature on heather moorland.
