Full Description

Mound at Barnstone, 1500ft SE of the church of St Ethelburga and 500ft E of the Barnstone Cement Works building (chimney). Just S of a minor siding. Indicated on the map by a mound with a dotted square enclosed. The mound seems to have had a ditch around it at some time but is now overgrown with brambles and small thorn trees, but its height is roughly uniform at 12ft from surrounding ground level. Is this Grani's Hou ? No local traditions. No pottery or weapon finds are known. Investigating further. (1)
This feature has been ploughed out. Mr Houldsworth is not available for archaeological comment. (2)
