Monument Number 65877

Hob Uid: 65877
Location :
North Yorkshire
Scarborough
Broxa-cum-Troutsdale
Grid Ref : SE9424092640
Summary : A round barrow, one of a group situated on a ridge between Hard Dale Gill and the Derwent Valley, towards the western edge of Broxa Forest. The barrow consists of an earth and stone mound measuring 12 metres in diameter and up to 1 metre high. There is a hollow in the centre, caused by a partial excavation carried out in 1949. This uncovered two cremations and revealed the barrow to have been constructed as a mound of stone on a clay platform, sealed by a clay dome. Scheduled.

[One of] Group of three Bronze Age barrows on Broxa Moor excavated by W H
Lamplough and J R Lidster in 1949.

('A'-SE 94239265). No.2. Diameter 36ft. Height 2 1/2ft. This was
also a stone cairn erected on a clay platform. Although the
cairn was not overlaid by clay, as in No. 1, a ring of stones,
covered by a collar of clay, surrounded a small central pit
which contained a cremation and parts of an urn with an
overhanging rim. Another cremation was situated near the edge of
the pit. Longworth's collared urn (Corpus 1096).

Mr Lamplough pointed out that the clay used in the construction
of this group of barrows had been brought some considerable
distance from the valley, since none was local to their
immediate vicinity.
Archival material with W H Lamplough. (RCHM Excav Index PRN Nos
11228 and 11230-1). (2-6)

As described. Resurveyed at 1:2500. (7)
