Round barrow 360m south-west of High Barn Farm is a scheduled monument protecting a Bronze Age burial mound in Yorkshire. The barrow sits on chalk bedrock of the White Chalk Subgroup, deposited during the Maastrichtian period some 72 million years ago. This underlying geology has shaped the local landscape, with the chalk providing a firm foundation for the earthwork and influencing the surrounding terrain.
The monument occupies a scheduled area of 0.08 hectares and is protected by Historic England under reference 1012493. The barrow represents a significant archaeological resource from the Bronze Age period, when such burial mounds were constructed to mark the graves of important individuals. The chalk geology beneath the site would have influenced both the original construction of the mound and its preservation.
The scheduled designation recognises the barrow's importance as an example of Bronze Age funerary practice and its contribution to understanding prehistoric settlement and burial patterns in Yorkshire. The monument's location south-west of High Barn Farm places it within a landscape shaped by millennia of human activity and natural geological processes.
