Narrowdale Hill Round Barrow(s) View all content for Narrowdale Hill

Thomas Bateman made the steep climb up Narrowdale Hill in 1846. Heading straight for the centre of the barrow he soon found the primary burial, a cremation contained within a rock cut grave along with an urn and flint. The capstone that covered the grave had a later cremation, also in an urn, placed on top. A small cist of limestone slabs, holding a still later cremation, was also unearthed close to the barrows surface in the SE. This burial too contained worked pieces of flint and antler.
