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:

As that link says about one of those mounds -

"Oval barrow 750m N of Wallis Grange. Identified as a Neolithic oval barrow, the only securely identified example in Humberside. The mound survives up to a height of 1.75m and measures 52m long E-W by 30m wide N-S"

That's news to me, it's got me licking my lips and checking the weather forecast...
