Round Barrow 500m NNW of Moor House Farm is a scheduled monument located in Yorkshire, England. The barrow sits upon bedrock of the Corallian Group, a sequence of Oxfordian limestone, sandstone, siltstone and mudstone that underlies the surrounding landscape. This geological foundation of mixed sedimentary rocks would have shaped both the construction methods available to Bronze Age communities and the drainage characteristics of the site itself.
The monument is protected by Historic England under reference 1013547 and occupies a scheduled area of 0.03 hectares. Round barrows of this type typically served as burial mounds for high-status individuals during the Bronze Age, their distinctive earthwork form remaining recognisable across the Yorkshire landscape despite millennia of agricultural use and natural erosion.
The barrow's position 500 metres north-north-west of Moor House Farm marks its location within the wider pattern of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity recorded across the region. Its preservation as a scheduled monument reflects the significance of Bronze Age funerary monuments to our understanding of ancient Yorkshire society and land use.
