Square barrow in Wykeham Forest, 630m north east of Loft Howe, is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a roughly square earthwork typical of barrow construction from the second millennium BCE, representing a form of elite burial practice during the Bronze Age period. Such square barrows are characteristic of later Bronze Age funerary tradition in northern England and demonstrate the investment of labour and resources in commemorative monuments for significant individuals or families. The site's preservation within Wykeham Forest contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practices in the Yorkshire uplands.
