This earth and stone barrow which measures 8m in diameter and stands 0.8m high is situated in a very prominent position and has all round inter visibility with the many other barrows on the surrounding moors. It sits on top of an area with many signs of bronze age activity such as clearance /burial cairns, field systems etc. It really does have a commanding view of all it surveys. For more detailed information see Pastscape Monument 28493.
Please see the comment from johndhunter below for details of work done in March 2018 to this site, along with his recent photographs, which illustrate how "personnel from the North Yorkshire Moors National Park working under the Historic England funded Monument Management Scheme removed the modern cairn on top of the barrow." John gives a link to the NMNP blog which describes the work done. By comparing the photographs submitted previously and johndhunter's recent photos, it is really interesting to note how the appearance of the cairn has changed.
