Four bowl barrows and parts of two linear boundary earthworks and a cross-dyke 750m west of Wharram Percy Farm is a Bronze Age funerary and landscape monument located in North Yorkshire. The site comprises four round barrows typical of Bronze Age burial practice, alongside linear earthworks that likely served territorial or land division functions during the later prehistoric period. The cross-dyke represents a further phase of landscape organisation, characteristic of the later Bronze Age or Iron Age periods when such earthwork systems became more elaborate. Together, these features demonstrate the long-term use and management of this upland area for both ceremonial burial and the demarcation of land boundaries.
