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...

Sounds like it's worth a look - pics please Chris!
I took a spin round the area last Saturday and the oval barrow is posted here -

I must admit I expected it to be larger and more prominent and its position near the bottom a valley seemed a bit odd too, I found myself looking up the valley behind me and saying to myself 'it should be up there!'
