Tallest round barrow in the UK?
Jul 13, 2024, 10:30
Following a recent visit to the massive round barrow near Veryan, Cornwall (apparently now c18ft although quoted back in 1855 at being 28ft..) I got to wondering just which is the tallest remaining round barrow - as opposed to cairn - in Britain and Ireland?

I'm rubbish at Googling.. however - excluding Silbury and Bartlow Hills - I'm currently thinking from experience it may be Willy Howe at 25ft?; Lanceborough at 23ft?; Duggleby Howe at 22ft and Knowlton Great Barrow at 20ft? Can't find a height for Enford, to be fair.

Wales, aside from Garth Hill is the land of cairns... as is Scotland. Ireland?
