Druids' Circle

This is referred to as both a Bronze Age burial mound and a stone circle and is located at the edge of Harwood Dale forest, just off the Scarborough-Whitby road.

It was probably a chambered tomb and the stones which now form a circle were the outer kerb stones, however it may also have been a tomb surrounded by a stone circle.

It measures just over thirty feet in diameter with a few of the central stones remaining, these probably formed a cyst . There were cup and ring marked stones found within the Barrow when it was excavated and these are now in Scarborough museum.
