	Duggleby Howe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Duggleby Howe (also known as Howe Hill, Duggleby) is one of the largest round barrows in Britain, located on the southern side of the Great Wold Valley in East Yorkshire, and is one of four such monuments in this area, known collectively as the Great barrows of East Yorkshire.
		Duggleby Howe is believed on the basis of artifacts recovered to be of Late Neolithic date, but no radiocarbon dates are available.
		In the first phase of activity at Duggleby Howe a shaft grave was excavated and at the base of it was interred an adult male in a crouched position accompanied by a Towthorpe bowl, flint cores and flint flakes.

		Duggleby Howe is one of the largest remaining monuments to be found in the Wolds.
		Duggleby Howe, Willy Howe, Southside Mount and other large barrows scattered about the Wolds form a group of monuments known as the Great Yorkshire Barrows.

		Burl shows how clearly megalithic remains split up into different regions, with very distinct styles - it's not all one movement, maybe not even the same religion (even if they were tapping the same force).
		Tell me that the builders were marking lines of force, consciously or unconsciously, and I might believe you, but that they were doing the same things as builders in other parts of the country or participating in some sort of great system of ideas that extended over all Britain, is just not true.

		It is the Howe that really marks the start of the ceremonial centre of the Gypsey Race for its true source is only a short distance away in a thicket on the outskirts of the tiny village of Wharram Le Street which in turn lies next to the ancient and abandoned village of Wharram Percy.
		Duggleby Howe can easily be seen on approach from the village of Duggleby.
		From it's summit you can appreciate how well positioned it is in the centre of a low valley, and can't help but wonder how much more impressive it would seem if it was still surrounded by its massive bank.

		In a big, wide rolling, landscape pockmarked with earthworks and tumuli, Duggleby Howe stands proud and tall despite being a shadow of its former self.
		Now only 20 feet high, rather than 30, and without its surrounding ditch and bank of which I could see no trace, this massive tump really dominates this little valley.
		I liked it enormously and had there not been a biting cold northerly wind, I'd have liked to sit and considered its position in the landscape a little longer.

		Whilst casts of fossils provide the curious hand with strange textures to feel, a video shows how the bedrock of the land was laid down, how shallow basins gave rise to the chalk Wolds, how the fluctuating seas created the familiar coastline of the Holderness Plain and the beaked mouth of the Humber Estuary.

		Quotes from texts by Tacitus and Strabo, as employed in the Andover Museum of the Iron Age, may bear little relation to the societies on the Wolds in the fifth century B.C. whose ways of living and dying are portrayed in the reconstructions of roundhouses, yards and cemeteries in the room following this textual introduction.

		Recent aerial photographic evidence 'road' which flanks the late-Roman focus is part of a major, earlier major north-south landscape division stretching for several kilometres to both south and north.
		Of equal significance, a major ladder settlement, southwest-northeast, is evident to the north of the 'villa' running for several kilometres from the north edge of the Duggleby Howe in the east, whose position in the landscape it appears to respect.
		Clearly, therefore, this whole area represents an ideal opportunity to investigate the complex relationship between pre-Iron Age landscape divisions, an extensive ladder settlement, and a high status Roman structure, all concentrated around the main water source on the Wolds.

		Close links between activities at causewayed enclosures and long barrows have been suggested on the basis of the kinds of human skeletal remains found at both classes of site.
		At Duggleby Howe, North Yorkshire, a causewayed enclosure appears to surround a middle to late Neolithic round barrow.
		Long mounds and bank barrows are associated with the causewayed enclosures at Crickley Hill, Gloucestershire, and Maiden Castle, Dorset, although in both cases they were seemingly constructed after the causewayed enclosures had been abandoned.
