Embanked pit alignments, linear earthworks, round barrows and cairns on Ebberston Low Moor is a complex of Bronze Age monuments located on the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The site comprises a series of archaeological features including pit alignments marked by banks, linear earthwork boundaries, and funerary structures in the form of round barrows and cairns, representing multiple phases of later prehistoric land use and ceremonial activity. These monuments date primarily to the Bronze Age, when the moor was actively utilised for settlement, burial, and territorial organisation. The alignment and distribution of the features suggest a landscape intensively managed during the second and first millennia before the present, reflecting patterns of social hierarchy and land division characteristic of Bronze Age communities in upland Britain.
