Monument Number 63291
Hob Uid: 63291
Location : North Lincolnshire Broughton
Grid Ref : SE9559008750
Summary : Sand Hills (Not antiquities)
More information : [Area SE 95590875] TUMULI [OE] (1) Three large mounds on the Ermine Street at Broughton. One excavated in 1851 proved to be a natural sand hill. (2-3) SE 9560883. "Barrow Hill" - this large mound excavated circa 1850 proved to be a "mere sand hill", not a tumulus. The site is now levelled and occupied by houses: no finds reported. The other two mounds marked as tumuli by the OS 6" 1908 are not at SE 95580885 and SE 956087. The latter has a bank around the S and E sides, and appears to be a natural dune which built up around the stream which flows to the south. The mound lies on the line of Ermine Street, the sharp deviation in which may be relatively recent and be partly due to the former use of this area as a cattle rest. (4)
