The Northern Brown Howe is a round barrow in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, forming part of a pair of Bronze Age burial monuments known collectively as the Brown Howes. The barrow is a substantial earthwork of characteristic Bronze Age construction, representing the funerary practices of the second millennium before the present era. Located within the upland landscape of the North York Moors, the monument survives as a testament to prehistoric burial tradition and the settlement patterns of Bronze Age communities in this region. The barrow's survival within the forest environment has contributed to its preservation as a scheduled ancient monument of considerable archaeological significance.
