Four bowl barrows and parts of two linear boundary earthworks and a cross-dyke 750m west of Wharram Percy Farm is a Bronze Age and later monument complex located in Yorkshire. The site comprises four burial mounds of bowl barrow form, typical of Bronze Age funerary practice, alongside associated earthwork boundaries and a cross-dyke that likely served defensive or territorial functions. The linear earthworks and cross-dyke suggest later prehistoric or potentially Iron Age activity, indicating extended use and modification of the landscape across multiple periods. The monument represents evidence of both mortuary practice and land management strategies characteristic of upland Yorkshire during the second and first millennia before Christ.
