A bowl barrow on Birdsall Wold, 750m east of Aldro Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the Yorkshire Wolds. The barrow takes the form of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice in northern England, constructed to mark and cover the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of probable elevated status. Its location on the open wold landscape reflects the Bronze Age practice of siting such monuments in prominent positions within the wider funerary landscape. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age burial customs and social organisation in Yorkshire.
