Full Description

Prehistoric barrow on the spine of Moorhouse Ridge is visible as a low heather, turf and braken-covered circular stoney mound, 15.8 metres in diameter and 0.3 metres high. The barrow has been overploughed by ridge and furrow and has also been robbed. This series of disturbance has made the monument's profile less discernable.
