Pry Rigg round barrows is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a group of round barrows typical of the Bronze Age burial tradition in northern England, dating to approximately 2000–1000 BCE. These earthwork mounds served as burial monuments for members of Bronze Age communities and represent a significant archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the region. The barrows' survival as upstanding earthworks contributes to their value as physical evidence of Bronze Age occupation and cultural development in Yorkshire.
