Round Barrow(s) in Yorkshire (North)

Large round barrow, possibly chambered cairn, in field next to A170 (north side). My mum was part of the excavation team (Leeds Uni?) in the late 40s/early 50s and described it to me as a stone circle so I checked it out in the late 80s, finding it to be a mound rather than a free-standing circle. In her defence it does have a ring of large kerb-stones around the main mound, similar to Bryn Celli Ddu. I have photos somewhere and will hopefully be able to dig them out. Marked as 'tumulus' on OS Map. Not sure if it has an official name. No footpath but clearly visible from the main road.
