Round Barrow in Yorkshire (North)
A ruined cairn/barrow (square?) or 'tumulus' according to the O.S.
This is very similar to the two tumuli found near Cawthorne Roman Practice Camp. A similar size, shape and height. With a square-ish outer embankment and a large dip in the middle. Hard to find and covered in bracken. Made all the worse by recent de-forestation.
