Canon Greenwell excavated fifteen Barrows in and around the civil parish of Ganton and nine in and around the civil parish of Sherburn. Greenwell published the results of his barrow excavations in an 1877 book co-written with George Rolleston [this book can be accessed online at http://www.archive.org/details/britishbarrowsre00greeuoft]. The Sherburn barrows are described on pages 145 - 155, those in Ganton on pages 155 - 179. Unfortunately it is not currently known from which barrow this object was recovered.
