Four round barrows 780m north east of Littlewood Lodge is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Yorkshire. The site comprises four distinct earthwork mounds characteristic of the Bronze Age burial tradition, when such barrows served as communal or individual sepulchres for the interment of the deceased, often accompanied by grave goods. The barrows' survival as earthworks demonstrates their construction from soil and turf heaped over burial deposits, a building technique that has allowed them to endure as landscape features across the intervening millennia. Their location in the Yorkshire landscape reflects the widespread distribution of Bronze Age funerary practice across northern England during the second millennium BC.
