Foster Howes bowl barrow (south) is a Bronze Age burial mound located on Sneaton High Moor in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common burial form throughout Bronze Age Britain. Bowl barrows of this type typically date from the second millennium BC and often contained inhumation or cremation burials accompanied by grave goods. The barrow's survival on the high moor landscape provides evidence for prehistoric funerary practices and the use of upland areas during the Bronze Age period.
