Round Barrow in County Durham

Round barrow on Kinley Hill overlooking the North Sea, north of Hawthorn Village.
A small circular depression in the top of the mound looks like an old excavation attempt.

There is no public access- the barrow is visible from a nearby public footpath.

Recent visit to the site. The quarry access road was covered in barbedwire recently but today it had been removed and dog walkers were using it. The copse is distinctive but the exact location of the barrow was difficult to determine. The location boasts a beautiful view of the sea and cliffs.
Are there any publications that can be used as a source to verify this site?
