Visited 10 October 2026. Much damage through tyres tracks running right over the barrow..To the extent that several boulders have been placed over the barrow to prevent further damage.

An abandoned gatepost with visible hinge at around NJ 93628 54597. Nice tall stone, I wonder if it had a megalithic usage. I think it’s the same one Thelonious wondered about back in 2012.

Looking down Borrowby Dale, which frames the coastal hilltop location of Hinderwell Beacon round barrow, distant centre.

Looking ENE. The fine Newton Mulgrave long barrow is prominent on the skyline, centre.

The overgrown top of Stang Howe, looking west-ish. The highest ground to the left of centre skyline is Danby Low Moor, crowned by Danby Beacon round barrow.

I wonder why the Torhouse Circle is not on this site? It’s right next to the Torhouse Stone alignment.

The less glamorous neighbour of Torhouse Circle, but stunning in it’s own right. The field had cows with calves, so be wary.

When the Egtved Girl’s coffin was discovered in 1921, it was transported to the National Museum in Copenhagen, where it was opened under expert supervision. It remains there to this day.

Although most soft tissues decomposed, the girl’s hair, teeth, nails, a small portion of skin, and brain tissue survived. Dental analysis indicates she was 16–18 years old at the time of her death, stood about 160–165 cm tall, and had mid-blond hair.
