Willy Howe

Willy Howe (also Willey-Hou) is a tumulus in the Yorkshire Wolds, East Riding of Yorkshire [1]. Willy Howe is a large round barrow 7.5 m (25 ft) high, located between Wold Newton and Burton Fleming in the civil parish of Thwing [1]. The mound has been recorded as being excavated several times: by Lord Londesborough in 1857; and by Canon William Greenwell in 1887 [1]. Neither found burials or grave goods; Greenwell found a feature approximating a shallow grave [1].
