Ewden Beck round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire, England, comprising a cluster of round barrows arranged across the landscape. The site includes an associated cross-dyke, a linear earthwork feature typical of later prehistoric or early historic periods, which may have served defensive or territorial functions. The barrows themselves represent funerary practices of the Bronze Age, when such burial mounds were constructed to inter high-status individuals and their grave goods. The monument complex reflects the ritual and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in the Yorkshire uplands.
