A bowl barrow on Birdsall Wold is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, situated approximately 250 metres south-east of Vessey Pasture Farm. The barrow survives as a low earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrow form, a burial tradition prevalent during the prehistoric period. Bowl barrows of this type typically contained inhumed or cremated remains and functioned as communal or family burial sites, representing significant places in the ritual and social landscape of ancient Yorkshire communities. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it an important archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the region.
