Monument Number 6941

Hob Uid: 6941
Location :
Northumberland
Eglingham
Grid Ref : NU1016019600
Summary : Barrow: stone cist and silver coins found
More information : (NU 10161960) Tumulus (OE) Stone cist found. (1)

In the wood to the west of Eglingham Hall is a large mound about
29 yards in diameter and tree planted.

The mound was dug up during the lifetime of Major Ogle (died 1857)
and many silver coins were found. Some of these were subsequently
made into articles of plate which are now in the possession of the
family. (2)

A round barrow maximum diameter 33.0m and 3.2m high, with what looks
like a separate mound on the top. This effect is created by a
slight and irregular berm around the upper part formed partly by
disturbance and partly by erosion around the roots of the large
trees on the summit.
There is no literary evidence to hand regarding the stone
cist. The present owner of Eglingham Hall had no knowledge of the
coins. (3)

Condition unchanged.

Published survey (25") revised. (4)
