I found it. Didn't take too long. It's called the "Willy Howe Mound."

"The ancient East Yorkshire monument that's home to drunken fairies"
Willy Howe is known as the setting for a 12th century folk tale


Heritage at Risk 2020. Willy Howe barrow, Wold Newton Road, Burton Fleming, Driffield, Yorkshire. TA06167234. Aerial view of barrow from north west.

E Yorkshire, so, not all of them are fairies, but all of them are drunk. ;^)

Britain’s 12th c must have been a fun time, other than the highwaymen and civil wars and whatnot. 13th wasn’t bad either.
