Barpa Charabhat

Barpa Charavat is another example of a ‘Long Cairn’, 50m in length, with some evidence remaining of a wide, ‘horned’ entrance at the east end. Beveridge noted that it was ‘greatly dilapidated’ at this end, since it had been used both as a quarry by local residents, and for the building of the several shielings and enclosures. Originally this must have been a significant landmark since, at the narrower west end, in Beveridge’s time, it was ‘standing to a height of 10 feet’.
