Duggleby Howe, Round barrow in Kirby Grindalythe, England.

The barrow stands 7 meters high with a base of 37 meters in diameter, featuring a circular platform of 14 meters at its summit.

Archaeological excavations in 1890 revealed multiple burial phases, including a shaft grave containing an adult male with flint tools and pottery vessels.

The construction and placement of remains within Duggleby Howe reflect the burial practices and social hierarchies of Neolithic communities in East Yorkshire.

The monument requires careful navigation through agricultural fields, and visitors should obtain necessary permissions before accessing the protected historical site.

Aerial photography in 1979 unveiled an extensive circular enclosure of 370 meters in diameter with interrupted ditches opening to the south.
