Round Barrow in East Yorkshire. On present evidence the monument, which has not been excavated, is identified as a Bronze Age barrow. However, because of its large size it has been suggested that it could also represent a Roman burial mound and/or an early medieval Thing mound. Photo credit: Brian Rogers

The barrow was perhaps re-used in later periods. Now between 3m and 4m high and oval in shape, measuring 21m SW-NE and 27m SE-NW. However, the barrow is respected by a later field boundary to the NW and the better survival of the mound against this boundary confirms that it was originally circular and larger, its shape having been modified by ploughing. The ditch survives as a buried feature 3m wide. Scheduled RSM No 21236.
