A Bronze Age round barrow 200m to the south west of High Park Farm on Ugthorpe Moor. Denuded by ploughing it lies in a field just to the south of the minor road to Lealholm, its north west edge being bisected by the fence line which separates the field from the road. This is Historic England List Entry Number 1016544 which tells us that it is made of earth and stone that it is up to 23m in diameter and stands up to 0.4m high. H.E. also surmises because of its spatial association with other round barrows in the area that it is thought to represent a territorial marker.

Note: Samuel Anderson a 19th century antiquary of Whitby excavated most if not all of the barrows on Ugthorpe Moor around 1852-53. His son Edward Anderson stated that he remembered that his father dug into the howes on Ugthorpe Moor at night, driving there in a cab from Whitby. However this night time journey is more likely to have been for the purpose of bringing back the finds from his experienced barrow digger, James Ruddock’s digging during the day. Anderson made notes describing the barrows and what he took from them, mainly collared urns but working out which barrow is which and its locality is difficult, also some of the barrows are no longer extant. Anderson sold his collection for £150 in 1855 to finance his jet manufacturing business. It was bought by Joseph Mayer and ended up in Liverpool Museum where most of the collection, though not all was destroyed when the Germans bombed it on 10/11th May 1941.
