Enclosed Bronze Age urnfield 160m west of Overgreen Royd Farm, Mixenden is a Bronze Age burial site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises an urnfield, a cemetery in which cremated remains were deposited in urns, enclosed within a defined boundary that is characteristic of later Bronze Age funerary practice. Such urnfields represent a significant shift in burial custom from earlier Bronze Age inhumation traditions and provide valuable evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and social organisation in the region. The enclosed arrangement of burials suggests a formalised, communal approach to the treatment of the dead during this period.
