Possible Stone Circle or Kerb Cairn in North Yorkshire

This possible stone circle is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 29794, which says: "A stone circle comprising ten stones protruding a few inches above the surface, 15ft in diameter and slightly concave, was discovered on Kirk Moor, NZ 924030, in 1965. A two feet trench dug across the circle revealed a fragmented urn, remains of a cremation and a flint fragment, on a large stone at the centre which bore traces of burning on top and underneath. Evidence suggests that a mound had covered the area until recent times. The urn, too fragmentary to restore, may have been biconical in form and, if so, the circle would belong to the EBA ... Stone circle at Kirkmoor Beck Farm Listed as of uncertain status, 4.6m diameter with internal cairn or barrow."

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this site - see their entry for Kirkmoor Beck Farm, Fylingthorpe, North Yorkshire, which has a 1969 plan of the stone circle together with a brief archaeology & history.
