Anne T visited on 1st Oct 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 5 Rawcliffe Howe, south of Stape Village, North Yorkshire: No entry exists for Rawcliffe Howe on the ADS, but does on Historic England. From Old Wives’ Well, driving southwards back down through the Village of Stape, we came to a four way cross-roads. Parking in a small layby just as we turned into Low Moor Road, where on the opposite side of the road a footpath runs through the wood leading to Rawcliffe Banks. I used the photographs from the mobile Portal site to help locate this.
This round barrow sits right on the edge of the road opposite the entrance to Low Moor Road and has clearly been cut through by the road. Trying to photograph it was very tricky as the rally cars were coming in groups thick and fast, and at one point I jumped further onto the verge to avoid a car that nearly missed the turning!
We managed to get photographs from various angles, although if I hadn’t known this was a site from the Portal would have missed it entirely.
Oh Dear! Despite the map showing the road missing the howe, infact it cuts through it. This is because the road is in a deep cut and the howe loses a great deal of it's earth because of it.
The first picture shows it from the road, the second shows how much is missing due to the road. This is pasture land, unlike the other howes near-by which are in woodland. Because of this, it's original shape is much less clear and it is merely seen as a small mound.
