A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age tree-covered barrow close to Nettlesworth West House, County Durham. I have posted a LIDAR image which shows a second-round barrow to the east of the main one, I have attempted to photograph this one also. The barrrow is easily seen from the adjacent public footpath.
The Waldridge Fell name is a bit misleading, as the Fell is some distance away, nor is it close to Nettlesworth West House.
