Three Howes (Blakey)

Despite its name, and the photographs here, there are actually four howes on this site. They are situated on a spur of Blakey Ridge overlooking Rosedale not far from the top of Rosedale Bank.

The northerly is the smallest standing 0.6m high (not shown above). The westerly one stands 2.4m high on one side. The southerly barrow stands 2.4m high and the easterly 2.5m high.

It appears that all of the barrows once had kerb stones around their edges and although excavation has taken place there are still large portions of the site intact.
