Square barrow in Broxa Forest, 440m south of Swarth Howe is a Bronze Age burial monument located in the North York Moors, Yorkshire. The monument takes the form of a square earthwork platform, a form characteristic of Bronze Age funerary structures in this region, though such squared configurations are less common than the more typical round barrows found across the moorland landscape. The site remains archaeologically significant as part of the broader distribution of Bronze Age burial practices in the northern English uplands, contributing to understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary ritual in Yorkshire.
