Gallows Hill round barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of an earthen mound characteristic of round barrow construction, a burial form widespread across Britain during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BC. Round barrows of this type typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of the period. The barrow's survival to the present day makes it an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire region.
