Head Road round cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located in Yorkshire, England. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of funerary architecture typical of the second millennium BCE, when such earthen and stone mounds served as collective or individual burial places for members of Bronze Age communities. The monument survives as a rounded earthwork, characteristic of round cairn monuments found across northern England during this period. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to our understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Yorkshire landscape.
