These two fellas lay on open land besides the Great Asby Road. The most easterly of the pair is the most interesting and shows the remains of a ditch and a possible granite boulder kerb. There is also a small granite boulder in the middle of the cairn.
The famous barrow digger Cannon Greenwell excavated these barrows and recovered broken bones from Cairn A and the scattered bones of two bodies, the bones of an ox and a later insertion cremation in a collared urn from Cairn B
