Bowl barrow 700m north of Betton Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common burial form across upland Britain during the Bronze Age period, typically dating to between approximately 2000 and 1500 BC. Such monuments functioned as burial mounds for individuals of status within their communities, often containing inhumed or cremated remains beneath the accumulated earth. The barrow's survival and official designation reflect its archaeological importance as evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire landscape.
