Round barrow 460m ESE of Coploaf Gate is a scheduled monument in Yorkshire, England. The barrow sits on bedrock of the Ravenscar Group, a geological formation of sandstone, siltstone and mudstone laid down during the Bathonian period. This Bronze Age burial mound occupies 0.02 hectares and is protected as a site of national importance under Historic England's scheduling reference 1012730.
The monument lies in an upland landscape where the underlying geology has shaped both its construction and survival. The mixed sedimentary geology beneath the site would have provided accessible building materials, whilst the firm bedrock has helped preserve the barrow's form across three millennia. The location at grid reference NZ 46890 00135 places it within a region rich in Bronze Age funerary monuments.
Round barrows of this type typically date from the second millennium BCE and represent the burial practices of Bronze Age communities. They vary considerably in scale and construction method depending on local materials and social status. This scheduled example remains an important archaeological resource, offering potential evidence of ancient settlement patterns, ritual practice and landscape use in Bronze Age Yorkshire.
