West Ayton Moor is a Bronze Age monument complex located in North Yorkshire comprising a prehistoric field system and seven round barrows. The barrows represent burial monuments typical of the second millennium BC, whilst the associated field system demonstrates contemporary agricultural organisation and land division practices. The survival of both elements together on the moor provides archaeological evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and the relationship between burial practices and cultivated landscapes. The site forms part of the wider archaeological record of the Vale of Pickering region during the Bronze Age period.
