A bowl barrow on Birdsall Brow, 1km north-east of Toisland Farm, is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a burial form prevalent in prehistoric Britain from the Neolithic period through the Bronze Age. Such barrows typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for ceremonial and commemorative practices within early agricultural communities. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the monument's archaeological value in understanding prehistoric settlement, burial practices, and land use in the Yorkshire landscape.
