Round Barrow in Yorkshire (East)

One of the four great Yorkshire barrows, Wold Newton is somewhat overshadowed by its close relative the Willy Howe barrow, which is situated about 0.85 miles to the east. Wold is now greatly denuded due to plough damage, but was once an imposing edifice.

Wold Newton submitted by SumDoood : The top of the mound. The boundary seen here beyond the mound from L to R (W to E) is where the Gipsey Race flows, when it flows. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Wold Newton
Wold Newton submitted by SumDoood : Access is unusual in that there's no footpath, but the field gates aren't locked. I walked in along the dried up bed of the Gipsey Race, the stream that doubtless so impressed the prehistoric residents of the Wolds. I spoke with an elderly dogwalker who had moved from Wiltshire to Wold Newton 2yrs ago, the last time the stream flowed. At this location it flows every seven years. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Kellythorpe and Ferry Fryston barrows by Andy B on Wednesday, 15 November 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
Dr Olaf: Kellythorpe and Ferry Fryston barrows are more interesting as they had some posh polished stone arm guards and other prestige items.

AB: Thanks - we don't have these listed at present

The Wold Newton Triangle by SumDoood on Monday, 25 July 2016

The Weird Wolds of Yorkshire: Inside the Mysterious Wold Newton Triangle

Charles Christian writes: ...there is also a much darker side to this mysterious countryside.

It is a place where kings built hospices to protect weary travellers from wolves – and werewolves; a place where cloistered monks chronicled the predations of zombies, vampires and aliens; a place dotted with henges, barrows, tumuli and ancient burial mounds that superstitious locals once avoided for fear of encountering the fairy folk who dwelt there.

It was here, in prehistoric times, that the first settlers in this countryside worshipped before stone monoliths, while wearing masks fashioned from the skulls of animals, and where in later times, the county’s squirearchy had their masques disturbed by the screams of an unquiet skull.

Unmatched anywhere else in England, the Wold’s many myths and legends also include green-skinned fairy folk, headless ghosts, ancient warlords, miracle-working priests, a disappearing river, an avaricious Queen, a black skeleton, a Parkin-eating dragon, sea serpents, turkeys galore, England’s oldest buildings, shape shifters, enchanted wells, giant monoliths and a grid of ley lines.
