Herd Howe is a round barrow located on Gerrick Moor in Yorkshire, England, dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of an earthen mound that represents a burial structure typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in northern England, a period spanning approximately 2200 to 800 BCE. The barrow's survival on moorland, where it has escaped intensive agricultural disturbance, has preserved its form and enabled its designation as a scheduled monument of archaeological importance. Such round barrows are significant as markers of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ritual practices, with this example contributing to the archaeological record of the Yorkshire moorlands.
