West White Barrow with Petre's cross on top. Western White Barrow (SX 665652) is a Bronze age cairn. Unlike Eastern White Barrow, it is quite badly damaged although it also has a impressive location overlooking the central wastes of the southern moor. Turf cutters from nearby Red Lake built themselves a shelter amidst the barrow and in so doing damaged the cairn. They knocked the arms off the old Petres Cross in 1847 and used it as a chimney breast.
