Hob Hurst's House is a Bronze Age barrow, that was first discovered and excavated in 1853 by Thomas bateman, known locally as the ‘Barrow Knight’. The excavation found a long stone lined grave that contained a great many bones, many of which had been burned and scorched. It is a unique site in that instead of being a traditional rounded shape it is rectangular. Originally there would have been thirteen stones, but only five remain.
