Oval barrow on Westwood Common is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located north west of Blackmill in Yorkshire. The monument takes the form of an oval earthwork characteristic of barrow construction during prehistory, when such structures served as focal points for ritual deposition and communal burial practices. The site's survival as an upstanding archaeological feature on Westwood Common makes it a valuable indicator of prehistoric settlement and land use patterns in the region. Like many barrows across Yorkshire, it represents an important phase of monumental construction that defined the landscape during the second and third millennia before the Common Era.
