Bowl barrow on Huggate Wold is a Bronze Age burial mound located on the Yorkshire Wolds north of Watermanhole Reservoir. The monument takes the form of a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age across the British uplands. Such barrows typically contain inhumation or cremation burials within a central chamber or grave cut into the ground surface, with the soil heaped over to form the distinctive rounded mound. This example contributes to the significant concentration of prehistoric burial monuments recorded on the Huggate Wold landscape, reflecting the ritual and funerary practices of Bronze Age communities in this region of northern England.
