Type and Period (1)
Full Description
{2} Mound, (unlocated but perhaps around SP840895), recorded in the late 19th century as somewhat ill-defined and planted with trees 'on the side of the road above Middleton'. The modern road has been re-aligned and cuts through the former hilltop, perhaps destroying the mound. It is probably the mound described in the late 18th century as being in Cottingham.
