Black Howe is a Bronze Age round barrow located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a earthen mound characteristic of burial practices during the Bronze Age, when such structures served as repositories for the deceased and functioned as territorial or dynastic markers across the landscape. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric Yorkshire and represents the funerary traditions of the period. The barrow's survival to the present day makes it a significant resource for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and social organisation in northern England.
