Three Howes Barrows

Highlight • Natural Monument

A scheduled monument first listed in 1968, the barrow to the east of the track is quite prominent, the other two are on the west side of the track.

Bowl barrows, the most numerous form of round barrow, are funerary monuments dating from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age, with most examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC. They were constructed as earthen or rubble mounds, sometimes ditched, which covered single or multiple burials.

The barrows each have an earth and stone mound which is round in shape. There are other similar barrows in this area of the Hambleton Hills. Many of these lie in closely associated groups, particularly along the watersheds. They provide evidence of territorial organisation marking divisions of land; divisions which still remain as some parish or township boundaries.
