A bowl barrow on Toisland Wold, 600m east of Toisland Farm, is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a circular mound of earth and stone, characteristic of bowl barrow construction, which served as a burial cairn or tumulus for interment of the dead. Such monuments are typical of the prehistoric period in northern England, particularly prevalent during the Bronze Age when barrow building was a widespread funerary practice among farming communities. The barrow's survival on Toisland Wold demonstrates the persistence of these monumental structures within the Yorkshire landscape and their value as archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and burial customs.
