Duggleby Howe is a Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial and burial monument complex located near Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial round barrow at its centre, surrounded by an interrupted ditch enclosure and associated ring ditches, forming a ritual landscape that demonstrates sustained use across multiple periods. The monument complex dates primarily to the Neolithic period, with evidence of later Bronze Age activity and reuse. Excavations have revealed that the site functioned as a burial and ceremonial focus, with the interrupted ditch pattern suggesting organised ritual practices characteristic of Early Neolithic monumental construction in northern England.
