A bronze age round barrow 450m to the south west of High Park Farm in an area known as Keld Bog on Ugthorpe Moor. Though located in a field on private land just to the south of the minor road to Lealholm, it is clearly visible from the road. This is Historic England List Entry Number 1016545 which tells us that it an earthen mound standing up to 1.6m high. It is round in shape and has a maximum diameter of 24m. In the centre of the mound there is a hollow caused by excavations* in the past.
Pastscape has much the same information at Monument 29102
* Samuel Anderson an Antiquarian of Whitby excavated most if not all the barrows on Ugthorpe Moor in 1852-53, where he found mainly collared urns. He sold this collection in 1855 to finance his jet manufacturing business. The collection ended up in Liverpool Museum where most, though not all of it was destroyed when the Germans bombed it on 10/11th May 1941.
