Blakey Howe is a round barrow situated in Yorkshire, England, dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of an earthen mound that represents a burial structure typical of the second and first millennia before the Common Era, when such barrows served as communal or individual sepulchres for elevated members of prehistoric communities. Round barrows of this type are among the most numerous surviving monuments from Bronze Age Britain and often yielded artefacts including pottery, metalwork, and human remains, though the specific contents of Blakey Howe are not widely documented in the readily available scholarly literature. The site is recorded in the National Heritage List for England under entry number 1018983, ensuring its legal protection as a monument of archaeological importance.
