Esh's Round Barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 400 metres north of Cross Thorns Barn in Yorkshire. The site exhibits evidence of multiple phases of use, comprising both a Neolithic long barrow and a later Bronze Age bowl barrow, indicating that the location held ritual significance across an extended chronological span. The monument's dual nature as both long barrow and later round barrow reflects patterns of barrow reuse and reactivation common in prehistoric burial practice, whereby Neolithic funerary sites were often modified or augmented during the Bronze Age. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1011576.
