Are you sure about that grid ref (SE 911465)? The news report says-

"A previous attempt to build two 20-metre turbines at Wallis Grange Farm, to the south-east of the start line, was blocked as they were deemed to be too close to a neighbouring property, Ridgehill Cottage – even though the occupant backed the idea.
A fresh application for planning permission, which places the masts 360 metres away from the cottage, is now being recommended for approval by planning officers."

A quick google turns up this document from the first application -

with the details between page30-p39. The map puts the turbines at about SE932430 and mentions crop mark enclosures, ditches and a pair of square barrows ( which may be outliers of the Arras group).

That puts it close to the Etton Wold group. The 70s OS shows 4 "tumili" just north of Wallis Grange, with yet another dismantled railway line (Market Weighton - Beverley this time) right next door. There are also two "earthworks", which appear to be part of a long linear feature running WSW-ENE.

And they were indeed excavated by Canon Greenwell:

From the news report-
"Nine burial mounds close to the site have already been identified as being of national importance, and there is evidence of others, two to the immediate south of the proposed development.
The site is also surrounded on all sides by crop marks – considered to be a significant heritage asset."

The mention of crop marks and the evidence of two mounds south of the development corresponds to the planing notes but the 'nine burial mounds' is a bit vague. Magic shows the remains of some barrows in the field around SE935438 including a neolithic oval barrow (one of Greenwell's) but there is a much larger group of about a dozen further north at SE91214569 that show up on the 1905 map as well as being listed on Magic. I wonder if the report is refering to these?
