A Bronze Age mound (round barrow or bowl barrow) located at the south-eastern side of Worsaw Hill, between Downham and Worston, Lancashire.The hill is actually a coral reef knoll, the largest in this area, and is 725 ft high (221m). The grassy mound is 6 ft high and roughly 16m X 13m). There is a slight hollow at the centre, which might be due to a past excavation or maybe robbery?There is little if any information about this site.
The mound is difficult to reach - unless you like a strenuous climb and a long walk around the bottom of the hill to the lower slopes. The walls around the side of the hill are good for crinoid fossil hunting!
There is an entry on Pastscape Monument No. 44629 which says this is the site of a possible tumulus ("this is a limestone hill") with no external ditch. The Journal of Antiquities also features an entry for Worsaw Hill Burial Mound, near Downham, Lancashire, which includes directions for reaching this site, together with photographs of the barrow and the crinoid fossils ("Worsaw Hill is the largest reef knoll in the area"), a description, and a list of reference sources for more information.
