18/69 Monument north-east
of Muncaster Castle
II
Eyecatcher, probably mid C18. Rough-dressed granite boulders with quoins;
battered, with banding between floors. Pyramidal roof of stone blocks. 3
stages, octagonal in plan c65 ft high. Intended to appear medieval when viewed
from a distance but lacks fine detailing. Entrance has pointed head and splayed
jambs. Oculi to each side between the lower stages light the ground floor. 1st
floor probably entered externally through opening on north-west face; blind
Latin crosses to remaining faces. 2nd floor has small window, in rusticated
surround, to each face. Interior: Spiral, domical vaults to ground and 1st
floors; niches of varying size to ground-floor walls. Said to mark the place
where shepherds found Henry VI wandering the Fells after the battle of Towton in
1461.
