Aldro earthworks is a Bronze Age funerary and territorial monument complex located on Leavening Wold in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The site comprises a bowl barrow and a square barrow, both typical burial mounds of the Bronze Age period, together with a section of cross-dyke which represents a linear earthwork likely associated with territorial demarcation or stock management. The surviving monuments demonstrate the landscape's use during the later prehistoric period for both ceremonial burial practices and land organisation, reflecting the settlement patterns and social structures of Bronze Age Yorkshire communities.
