High Muffles Tumulus
High Muffles Tumulus submitted by vagabondnma : High Muffles Tumulus - not much to look at, even harder to photograph. (Vote or comment on this photo)
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.

[Okay, thanks, now up-dated]. Admin : Type needs to be changed to Round Barrow; Accurate grid ref is SE 77896 94630; Alternate and local name for this barrow is Old Wife’s Mound – source of this information is Historic England List Entry 1018409 which also tells us that it is 18m in diameter and up to 0.8m in height. Also that it has an irregular central hollow up to 8m across considered to be due to 19C antiquarian excavation.
