Greenlands Howe is a Bronze Age round barrow located on Sleights Moor in North Yorkshire. The monument survives as an earthwork mound and forms part of the wider archaeological landscape of barrow cemeteries characteristic of the Bronze Age period across the North York Moors. Such barrows typically served as burial monuments for individuals of status within prehistoric communities, and their distribution across upland moorland reflects patterns of settlement and land use during the second millennium BC. The site's survival as a recognisable earthwork contributes to understanding Bronze Age funerary practices and the ritual significance of these moorland locations in northern England.
