Draugr



out here
I am spared the rule of  folk

out here
I am unbound 

out here
I serenade the emptied, dread edge

out here 
I am found

out here
I am spirit invoked

out here
I am crowned 

out here 
I dance with the dead

out here
on ancestral grounds

Where is this please?

Hi Lucy - Sorry for the late reply.

The site is called Breckon Howe - a burial mound situation on the outskirts of Whitby at the turn off to Goathland on the A169.

Follow the Historic England link for more information - https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1174081

It's one just of a vast number of prehistoric monuments that are scattered around the area - including Allan Toft, a Cairnfield with prehistoric rock art and Greenlands Howe, a round barrow with an intact Cist ( see previous post The Howe for an image ).
