Potato Nab round barrow is a Bronze Age burial monument located approximately one kilometre south-west of Penny Holme in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a circular mound characteristic of round barrows constructed during the Bronze Age period, typically dating between around 2200 and 700 BC, when such monuments served as communal or individual burial places for the dead. Round barrows of this type represent some of the most distinctive archaeological features of the British Bronze Age landscape, with their prominence reflecting the social and ritual importance of the individuals or communities interred within them. The monument's survival to the present day, as recorded in the National Heritage List for England under entry 1019592, demonstrates its enduring archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire region.
