Black Hill long barrow and superimposed round cairn is a Neolithic and Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire. The site comprises a long barrow of Neolithic date upon which a round cairn of Bronze Age date was subsequently constructed, demonstrating successive use of the location across a considerable span of prehistory. The superimposition of the round cairn represents a common practice in Bronze Age burial tradition, whereby earlier monuments were reused or incorporated into later funerary architecture. This monument contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric burial practices in northern England and reflects the enduring significance of certain landscape locations across multiple prehistoric periods.
