Waitcliff Howe is a round barrow located in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, forming part of a significant concentration of Bronze Age funerary monuments in the region. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound, characteristic of burial monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of social status. Round barrows of this type, distributed across the upland areas of Yorkshire, represent an important archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric mortuary practices and settlement hierarchies. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry number 1020589.
