Round Barrow(s) in Yorkshire (North)
"Surveyed by the RCHME at 1:1000 in April 1996. While it is not absolutely certain that this is a cairn it seems the most likely explanation; it does not have the appearance of a natural mound or a spoil heap. The mound is 33m in diameter and up to 2.7m high maximum. It has been severely mutilated, with at least 5 pits sunk into it and 4 trenches driven in from the sides. There is some evidence of chronological depth within this barrow-digging phase as one of the holes seems to cut through the spoil from an earlier exploration. There is also evidence of a quasi-systematic approach to the ransacking of the mound, in that the pits form a line from E to W while the 2 principal trenches have been driven from opposing points on the circumference, in the SE and NW. Some of this digging pre-dates the 1820s but some may well be later."
