Square barrow in Wykeham Forest is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire, England. The structure consists of a square or rectangular earthwork formation, a characteristic design that distinguishes it from the more commonly encountered round barrows of the same period. Such square barrows are relatively uncommon in the British archaeological record and represent an alternative funerary tradition during prehistory. The monument's precise dating and original function remain subjects for archaeological investigation, though it contributes to our understanding of mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the upland regions of northern England.
