Aldro earthworks is a complex of prehistoric monuments located on Birdsall Wold in North Yorkshire. The site comprises two linear boundaries, or lynchets, alongside a bowl barrow, representing evidence of Bronze Age settlement and land management practices on the Yorkshire Wolds. The linear features indicate ancient field systems or territorial divisions, whilst the barrow demonstrates the ceremonial or funerary practices of the Bronze Age inhabitants. Together, these monuments reflect the sustained exploitation and organisation of this upland landscape during the second millennium before the present era.
