Summary : Toot Hill - natural mound surmounted by poss barrow (now destroyed) urn, skeletons
More information : Skeletons were found in the sand pit [on Toot Hill, Little Coates] soon after Johnson's visit in 1903, and "bones and earthenware" had been found at, or near,Toot Hill, a century previously. [See AO/61/38/7.] (1) ".... it seems probable that the mound from which the village of Toothill gets its name, a little north-west of Grimsby, was also a Bronze Age barrow, although the pot found in it when the site was being dug for sand has been lost". (2-3) [Sited at TA 24800888] (4) Toot Hill has now been completely dug out and partially levelled. Mr. Hannigan (Hon.Corr.) says the Urn is at Totnes, property of the Overbeck family.
