Danes Hills square barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial ground located approximately 300 metres south of Adamson Farm in Yorkshire. The cemetery comprises a group of square barrows, a distinctive burial monument type characteristic of the Bronze Age period in northern England, typically dating to the second millennium before the present. Square barrows of this type functioned as elite burial structures, often containing inhumations and occasionally cremations accompanied by grave goods that reflect the status and cultural practices of Bronze Age communities. The site represents an important concentration of such monuments and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and funerary practices in prehistoric Yorkshire.
