This is a square barrow measuring 11m across. The corners are rounded and the whole is surrounded by a ditch about a metre wide which although mostly in-filled is still visible.
There has been significant excavation work in the past and this has left the barrow with a very large hole at its centre.
A footpath passes close by but I would imagine few people who pass it are aware it is there. That said it is a good example of a square barrow which occur almost entirely in the North and East Yorkshire areas.
