Round barrow 400m south east of Hill Fort Windypit is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire, England. The barrow forms part of the archaeological landscape associated with Windypit Hill Fort, a hillfort of Iron Age origin, and represents the earlier use of this elevated terrain during the Bronze Age period. As a round barrow, it would have functioned as a burial mound for a single individual or small group, constructed through the accumulation of earth and stone over an interred deposit. The monument's survival and designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its importance to understanding the long-term occupation and ritual use of this Yorkshire hillside.
