Round barrow 50m east of Windyridge Farm is a scheduled monument located in Yorkshire. The barrow sits on bedrock formed from the Ravenscar Group, a Bathonian deposit comprising sandstone, siltstone and mudstone that underlies much of this region. This geological foundation would have influenced both the construction and preservation of the monument.
Dating to the Bronze Age, round barrows were built as burial monuments across Britain during the second millennium BC. They typically comprised an earthen or stone mound raised over a central grave or cremation deposit, often accompanied by grave goods. The Windyridge barrow represents an important survival of this funerary tradition in the Yorkshire landscape.
The monument is protected by Historic England as a scheduled monument (reference 1013596), encompassing an area of 0.05 hectares. This designation recognises the barrow's archaeological significance and ensures statutory protection for any remains and associated features that may survive beneath the ground surface at the site.
