Pikestones

Pikestones is the remains of a Neolithic burial cairn on Anglezarke moor in Lancashire, England. The site measures approximately 45 m (150 ft) long and 18 m (60 ft) wide, with a single burial chamber built from large upright slabs capped by two lintels, forming a chamber about 4.5 m long, 0.9 m wide and 0.9 m high, originally covered by a massive stone and turf mound. The cairn is aligned almost exactly north‑south, with the burial chamber situated beneath the wider northern end. A double wall at the northern edge curves inward to form a forecourt entrance.
