Bowl barrow and archery butt 231m south-west of Wold Newton Church is a composite monument comprising a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound and a later medieval or post-medieval shooting range. The bowl barrow represents the earlier phase of activity at the site, typical of funerary monuments constructed during the prehistoric period in Yorkshire's upland regions. The archery butt, an earthen bank used for target practice, was subsequently constructed or modified at the location, reflecting the importance of archery training in medieval and early modern England. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the archaeological layering of different periods of human activity across the Yorkshire landscape.
