Round Barrow 1/4 mile NW of Broom House is a scheduled monument of Bronze Age date located in Yorkshire. The barrow sits on chalk bedrock of the White Chalk Subgroup, deposited during the Maastrichtian period, which provides a distinctive pale ground beneath this elevated burial mound. The monument occupies a scheduled area of 0.09 hectares and is protected by Historic England under reference 1004114.
Round barrows of this type typically served as burial monuments for members of Bronze Age communities, marked by a distinctive earthwork mound visible in the landscape. The chalk geology underlying this particular example would have been well-known to its builders, and chalk rubble often featured in Bronze Age barrow construction across the chalklands of southern Britain. The Yorkshire chalk landscape shaped both the monument's form and its place in the local Bronze Age burial landscape.
Today the barrow remains an important archaeological record, with its scheduled status ensuring protection for any subsurface remains and the archaeological evidence it contains. The monument is situated at grid reference SE 92549 71281, and its preservation allows for the future study of Bronze Age burial practices and beliefs in this region.
