Full Description
SK 2204 6282. TUMULUS (Site of) (Human Remains, Cist, Urn, etc., found). (1). TUMULUS (Site symbol).(2).
No visible remains. The authority for the publication was not determined. (3). A destroyed round barrow south-west of Castle Ring. (5).
A round barrow located on the south-west of a flat hilltop which is now destroyed or lost. The Ordnance Survey maps record a tumulus at this site, although there were no signs of a barrow at this location, nor any obvious modern disturbance. The origin of the claim for a barrow within the hillfort is obscure and likely to be spurious, especially as Rooke recorded the hillfort without mention of a barrow. The remains found within the barrow, as recorded on the Ordnance Survey maps were actually from site 32:7 locate at the foot of Robin Hood's stride. (6). Slide record. (7).
