Possible square barrow in Yorkshire (North)
Please see johndhunter's comment below with his thoughts and notes about this barrow. John calculates the grid reference to be NZ 51872 02396 (original given by Spratt NZ 518025). He also gives reference sources and a link to Pastscape for more information.
Possible Iron Age square barrow on the summit of Carlton Bank, close to the Cleveland Way. East to West it is about 16 paces long and North to South about 12 paces wide. Height guesstimate is about 1.5 to 2metres with a flat top and no sign of excavation. The sides are sloping (typical of a square barrow) and the corners have been rounded out over the years.
