What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Prehistoric enclosure containing three hut circles and eight clearance cairns and an adjacent hut circle and cairnfield north east of Boat How, Burnmoor as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
A prehistoric enclosure with hut circles and cairns, likely dating to the early medieval period, suggests a domestic or agricultural settlement. Though not traditionally associated with fairy folklore, such sites were often later linked to local legends of hidden folk or ancient spirits.
