Willy Howe submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jun 2003. Part of the 'Great Yorkshire Barrows' group. To say that these have been called by some, 'the ancestors' of the mighty Silbury Hill in
Wiltshire, you'd think a little more would be made of them!
Reckoned to be as old as Duggleby Howe, and a similar size: seven and a half meters high and thirty six and a half meters in diameter.

Unfortunately, the original boulder had to be reburied some years ago as the pattern was quickly eroding away, but an exact replica fibre glass cast now s...
