(2) Human remains were recently found in a tumulus in a field called Hill Field. (There appears to be no other in the parish than that published above). (3) An earth and stone mound (about 1m high and 20m diameter) in a ploughed field. According to the farmer at Old Byland Grange the field is still known locally as Round Hill Field. A few inches below the surface of the mound it is composed completely of stones. No finds have ever been made to his knowledge but it seems highly likely that this is the site referred to by Whellan.
