Partially destroyed bronze age barrow. The site lies in farmland about 300m south of Bamburgh castle car park, on the east side of the coast road.
Description from keys to the past
"Large irregular mound (55m by 90m) which survives, in places, up to 3m high. The remains of a stone-lined grave were found just to the south of the top of the mound. It contained the remains of a man, 1.7m in height. Earlier, in the 19th century, a pottery vessel had been found in the mound. These remains probably belong to the Bronze Age. "
