A bowl barrow on Birdsall Wold, 580m east of Aldro Farm, is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The monument takes the form of a low earthwork mound of circular plan, characteristic of the bowl barrow type which represents one of the earliest forms of burial mound in northern England. Such monuments typically date from the Neolithic period through to the Bronze Age and served as communal or individual burial sites, often containing inhumations and grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of their time. The barrow's survival on Birdsall Wold, an upland landscape historically favourable for such monuments, contributes to the archaeological understanding of prehistoric settlement and funerary practice in Yorkshire.
