Description
There are two stone coffins located approximately 300 metres to the west of Swinton Castle. These coffins are probably of Roman origin and were rediscovered in 1835. They were set out for William Danby of Swinton Castle. The coffins are made of stone and are monolithic sarcophagi with curved sides. One coffin features a flat bevelled lid, while the other has a triangular-sectioned lid that is hipped at one end. Surrounding the coffins is a semicircle of large stones laid randomly.
