Old Wife's Mound is a round barrow located in Yorkshire, England, situated approximately 750 metres north west of Low Leaf Howe House. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of burial monument typical of the period, when such earthworks served as repositories for the deceased and functioned as prominent landscape features.
