A bronze age round barrow located on sloping ground to the north east of the summit of Lealholm Rigg , however it is still prominent on the skyline when viewed from those barrows to the west on Lealholm Moor. It also has commanding views to the north east including on Ugthorpe Moor an area of extensive bronze age activity. It is similar in construction to Lealholm Moor Round Barrow in that it is made up of two mounds with a smaller mound being placed on top of the first. This is Historic England List Entry Number 1018748 which tells us that the “main mound is 19m in diameter across its base, 0.5m high with a flat top approximately 15m in diameter. The second mound is 8m in diameter across its base and is sited in the north eastern quadrant of the top of the lower barrow to leave a berm 0.5m wide on the north eastern side widening to about 7m on the south western side. The smaller, upper mound is 1m high so that the whole barrow stands to 1.5m. The centre of the upper mound has a central depression up to 0.7m deep.”
