Thorn Key Howes is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of two round barrows situated on Low Moor in Yorkshire. The barrows represent a burial tradition characteristic of the third and second millennia before the present, when communities marked the graves of their dead with substantial earthen mounds. The site exemplifies the practice of barrow construction across the upland regions of northern England during prehistory. These monuments remain significant archaeological evidence of ritual practice and landscape use in the Bronze Age period.
