Mound (NAT) (2)
A tumulus 100 yds in circumference and composed of red sand. Attempts seem to have been made to excavate it during the 19th century. In one case "articles of some sort are said to have been found in it", and later, when a large portion of the interior was exposed, there appeared layers of what the Rev F C Royds considered to be bones (3)
Listed (4)
A disturbed tree covered mound, 32.0m in diameter and 3.0m in height, is surrounded by a shallow, widespread and mutilated ditch about 0.5m deep.
The field in which the mound lies is known as Mud Field, which is probably a corruption of Moot Field. (5)
