Carr Cote Ridge 308m P11.4 (1010ft) (Hill ID: 511650) [JNSA s9501] County of Yorkshire Definitive List summit North York Moors National Park Definitive List summit Kent List summit Two 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

From the top of Beacon Hill you can see the dramatic northern escarpment of the moors, stretching away to Roseberry Topping. Fantastic views, and there is quite an easy track directly down Scarth Wood Moor to Sheep Wash car park.

More spectacular views. The approach from the west is easier with a more gentle incline than the approach from the east, which involves a series of twisting turning steep steps, good safe footing but hard going both up and down.
