Group of four square barrows on Westwood Common, 200m north west of Blackmill is a scheduled ancient monument comprising four burial mounds of Iron Age date located in Yorkshire. These square barrows represent a characteristic funerary tradition of the late prehistoric period, when such earthen monuments served as markers for elite or communal burials. The four barrows are distributed across Westwood Common and remain largely visible as soil and turf-covered earthworks, preserving evidence of Iron Age settlement and burial practice in this region. The monument's survival and scheduled status reflect its archaeological importance in understanding the mortuary customs and land use patterns of Iron Age Yorkshire communities.
