I haven't actually visited the site
of Low Woof Howe barrow yet but I've included it here as it forms the final monument
in a chain of barrow that stretch from Black Brow in the northwest to the head
of the valley of Stockland Beck - a distance of about seven miles. The list of
monuments includes Flat Howes, Pen
Howes, Breckon Howe, Sil
Howe, Flass Brow, Robbed
Howe, Foster Howes, Ann
Howe, Louven Howe, Lilla
Howe, High Woof Howe and finally
Low Woof Howe. This chain is thought to have formed a Bronze Age territorial boundary
between different parts of the North Yorkshire Moors. |
