Aldro earthworks is a bowl barrow located on Birdsall Wold, approximately 500 metres west of Aldro Farm in Yorkshire. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a burial mound of the type commonly constructed during the second millennium BCE across the Yorkshire Wolds. The barrow survives as a substantial earthwork with a characteristic bowl-shaped profile, though like many such monuments it has experienced some degradation over the centuries. As a scheduled ancient monument, it forms part of the significant funerary landscape of the Wolds and contributes to our understanding of prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns in this region.
