Bungie visited on 1st May 2019 - their rating: Cond: 1 Access: 3 Located either side of the forest track. I thought I could see a slight round area where the barrows are, especially the east one, although they don't show up on my photos. Also " found " them dowsing but as I am a beginner it might have been wishful thinking !
You can drive up toward them and park at the end of the road to carry on by foot. A pleasant woodland walk but don't expect to see much. Fox Head Barrow is near-by.
From Pastscape:
"Up to 4 Bronze Age round barrows situated south east of California Belt east of Fox Head located both sides of the Great Moor Road south of Wykeham Forest. All greatly reduced by ploughing. At least one of these barrows was excavated in 1961-2 when 4 cremations were uncovered 2 within urns. Another was excavated in 1965. It was surrounded by a kerb of carved and decorated boulders some of which are now in Scarborough Museum. This mound was found to have been constructed over a primary burial of a child. Above the head were four flint scrapers and three other blades. It also contained 4 secondary cremation burials. Other finds included food vessels, small flint blades, hazelnut shells, a collared urn and a pygmy cup."
