History & significance

Flat Howe is a Bronze Age round barrow located on Glaisdale High Moor in North Yorkshire. The monument survives as an earthwork mound typical of burial monuments constructed during the second millennium BC, when such structures served as focal points for funerary practices across the upland regions of northern England. Round barrows of this type frequently contained cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods that reflected the status and beliefs of contemporary communities. The site's survival on the exposed moorland landscape, despite extensive post-prehistoric land use, testifies to its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the Pennine region.
