Round Barrow in Yorkshire (North)

Excavated and published as Little Ouseburn Barrow, 1958: Round Hill, an Early Bronze Age Barrow at Little Ouseburn, North Yorkshire, England (York University Archaeological Publications) Paperback – 1 Sep 1989 by Philip Rahtz

Report of a rescue excavation at Little Ouseburn in 1958. Pre-barrow occupation comprised settlement features, greenstone axe fragments, Beaker shards, and other farmer period flints. In a primary grave was a tree-trunk coffin surviving as dark residues, and small traces of an inhumed skeleton could be recognised.

Yorkshire Archaeological Aerial Mapping write: On the original OS maps there is marked, up against the Roman Road (now the B6525) a round barrow, presumably Bronze Age in origin.

These days there is a very faint rise in the field on physical examination, and from the air there is little to mark the spot

However, the sophisticated ground mapping software developed by YAA allows the site to be pinpointed and surveys without ever disturbing the field or crops, and allows the site to be permanently recorded.
