I've given magicmap a good going over a few times, and there's, only 1 of the Tyne mounds comes up. Another possible in the middle of the county, but nowt else at the bottom.

The 23 Knaredale and kirhaugh jobs? Well, I found 1, the one stonelifter has posted a pic of here o tma. The rest seem to be have been classified as cairns, and the things I'm thinking of are primarily soil, not stones. So I've sort of given up on finding Tyne mounds in the online records. It might be time to go looking at the old paper stuff.

There's another mound at Eals but it's listed as a Motte. To make earthen mounds you need soil and the areas I habit are in the peat where there's plenty of free stone.
