Round barrow 400m north east of Wold Farm, Bishop Wilton Wold is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on the chalk uplands of the Yorkshire Wolds. The barrow forms part of a wider distribution of funerary monuments characteristic of the Bronze Age period across this landscape, dating to approximately 2000–800 BCE. The site survives as an earthwork of modest proportions typical of round barrows in the region, representing a form of burial practice that involved the construction of mounded structures over cremated or inhumed remains. The monument's location on open downland reflects the Bronze Age preference for elevated positions within the chalk landscape, positions that would have remained visually prominent within the surrounding terrain.
