Four square barrows in Wykeham Forest is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in the North York Moors, approximately 520 metres north west of Loft Howe. The site comprises four distinct square-ditched barrows arranged within the forest landscape, representing a burial tradition characteristic of the later prehistoric period. Such square-ditched monuments are typically associated with Bronze Age burial practice, though the exact date of construction and use remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The barrows survive as earthwork features defined by their ditch systems, which would originally have enclosed burial mounds or platforms and may have served a community or extended family over an extended period of use.
