Lyke Wake Walk
Simon Howe
Simon Howe is the site of a prehistoric barrow and stone alignment on the North York Moors. The barrow is located on the highest point of a ridge that runs from Goathland in the north to Wilden Moor in the south.
The original barrow consisted of a central cairn surrounded by a circle of kerb stones. Over time, the cairn has been eroded away leaving the kerb stones and a bare platform, the stones from the cairn were used to construct a rough shelter and hiker’s cairn which was used as a beacon for walkers undertaking the Lyke Wake Walk.
English Heritage have recently funded work to protect the monument, the shelter was dismantled and rebuilt as a central cairn. The team also surveyed the monument and re-erected one of the fallen stones of the nearby stone alignment. An account of the restoration work and a copy of the survey can be found here
