Nine Standards Rigg - The cairns.
Most hill tops have a crown of stones marking the summit. Nine Standards has taken the custom to the next level. The cairns in the picture are a result of local crafts folk recently getting together to preserve and embellish what is thought to be an ancient arrangement of decorative stone structures on the top of Hartley Fell, overlooking Kirkby Stephen.
The origins of the structures are shrouded in mystery, some say they are medieval, some say Bronze Age and most shrug their shoulders and say, haven't a clue.
