Burnt mound on the south bank of Scar Beck, south west of Mizzes House, is a Bronze Age or Iron Age archaeological monument consisting of a mound of burnt stone and associated domestic debris. The site represents evidence of industrial or domestic activity involving the heating and use of stone, a practice characteristic of prehistoric settlement sites in northern England. Such burnt mounds typically accumulated through repeated cycles of heating stones in fires and depositing them after cooling, often associated with cooking, metalworking, or water heating activities. The monument's location beside Scar Beck reflects the importance of water access to prehistoric communities and survival of this archaeological deposit contributes to understanding Bronze Age and Iron Age land use and settlement patterns in Yorkshire.
