County of Yorkshire Definitive List summit
North York Moors National Park Definitive List summit
Kent List summitTwo round barrows 20 metres apart in a prominent position on the summit of Carr Cote Ridge. There is a large fallen boundary stone (post medieval) at the eastern edge of the northern barrow known as the Hanging Stone, one of many such named on the North Yorkshire Moors. It once stood upright in the centre of the barrow and was a prominent landmark. Historic England List Entry Number 1009368 tells us that it is 3.3m long and 0.5 m square in section. It also tells us that the northern barrow(SE 58440 92920) on which it stands is made of earth and stone and is 10m in diameter and 1m high. The other barrow (SE 58433 92893) 25m to the south is also made of earth and stone (with a robbed out centre), is 14m in diameter and 1.5m high. This barrow was also at one time surrounded by a ditch up to 3m wide but has become filled in over the years and is no longer visible
