North Bowl Barrow, on Iron Hill

Iron Hill North bowl barrow near Shap in Cumbria.
Earthwork remains of a Bronze Age bowl barrow (burial mound / cairn). Excavation of the cairn uncovered a cist (coffin / burial chamber) with a human male burial and deer remains. A bronze halberd (combined spear and axe) was found in the area.
The barrow has been cut in half by the building of the wall.
Iron Hill South lies close by.
