They don't do things by halves here in Yorkshire. If you're going to build a bowl barrow might as well make it a biggun. However, Willy Howe, as it's called, cannot decide whether it's Neolithic or Bronze Age. It was originally round and not unlike the not too faraway (round and Neolithic!) Duggleby Howe, but two Victorian chancers certainly messed it about and displaced most of it in a quest to discover its hidden treasures. However, neither of them found treasure or indeed evidence of a burial. Whoever it was constructed for never turned up for the gig! Though that doesn't mean it was a vacant lot as they could well have been looking in the wrong spot.
My wife for scale. This mound really is huge!
About 50 metres North of Willy Howe runs (sometimes) The Gypsey Race winterbourne river which links to The Rudston Monolith to the East.
