Overview

History & significance

Round barrow 700m north of Miley Howe is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The barrow forms part of the broader prehistoric landscape of the region, where such earthworks served as burial structures for members of Bronze Age communities, typically dating to between approximately 2200 and 700 BCE. As a round barrow, the monument would originally have consisted of an earthen mound constructed over a central burial pit or chamber, though its present condition reflects the effects of several millennia of weathering and agricultural activity.
