A bronze age round barrow in a prominent position on Sleights Moor with good all round views.
This is ‘HERR’ MONUMENT 29299 which tells us that it is flat topped, 19m in diameter and 1.4 m high.
The record also tells us that there is an adjacent, smaller round barrow about 30m to the south, which is 12m in diameter and 0.5m high. This is at NZ 85638 03693 (my gps) and though the record doesn’t say, it is also flat topped. Whilst both barrows are generally heather covered, Pen Howe because of its height stands out clearly from a distance, not so the adjacent barrow you usually have to get quite close before you spot it.
Note : On some historical maps it is named Pin Howe
