South Flat Howe is a round barrow situated in Yorkshire, England, dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of burial practices during the second millennium BC, when such structures served as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of presumed social prominence. Round barrows of this type are distributed across the upland regions of northern England and represent a significant phase of ceremonial monument construction and funerary practice. The site is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument and contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and burial activity in Yorkshire.
