The Bowl barrow and archery butt 230m south of Wold Newton church is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The site consists of a bowl barrow, a common burial mound form of the prehistoric period, which has been subsequently modified by the addition of an archery butt, reflecting its later recreational use, likely during the medieval or early modern period. The barrow's original function as a burial monument dates it to a period spanning several millennia before the Roman conquest of Britain, whilst the archery butt represents evidence of how prehistoric monuments were often repurposed for contemporary activities. This dual use demonstrates the longstanding presence of the monument in the landscape and its continued significance to successive communities occupying the area around Wold Newton.
