Harrold Round House is a prehistoric circular earthwork located near the village of Harrold in Bedfordshire. The monument comprises a roughly circular bank and ditch enclosure of Neolithic or Bronze Age date, representing one of several such ritual or defensive structures recorded in the region. The earthwork survives as an upstanding feature in the modern landscape, though its original dimensions and internal features have been subject to erosion and agricultural activity over millennia. Such round houses and circular enclosures from this period reflect the settlement patterns and social organisation of early prehistoric communities in central England.
