Abstract:		 The large round barrow at Duggleby Howe in North Yorkshire (also known as Howe Hill) lies on the southern slope of the upper Gypsey Race valley and is well known in the local and national archaeological literature as one of the largest and richest Neolithic round barrows in Britain. It was first excavated in 1798 or 1799 by the reverend Christopher Sykes but no records remain of his excavation nor do any finds survive. Almost 100 years later, in 1890, J. R. Mortimer re-opened the mound with the sponsorship of Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere (Mortimer 1905, 23 '“ 42, No. 273) and excavated an area 40 feet (c.12m) square over the centre of the barrow.\r\n\r\nIn 2006, generously funded by English Heritage, the present writers commenced a re-examination of Mortimer's Duggleby Howe archive. The aim of the project was to obtain radiocarbon dates from the burials within the mound and thus create an absolute chronology on which to anchor the relative sequence. This dating programme is still underway but before any human or animal bone could be used for dating, it was first necessary to record the surviving bones. In so doing, Burial J has proved of particular interest.\r\n
