The round barrow 700 metres north of Moor House Farm is a scheduled monument of Bronze Age origin situated in Yorkshire. The monument occupies 0.08 hectares and is protected by Historic England under reference 1013546. It represents one of the burial mounds that characterise the Bronze Age landscape of this region, constructed as a funerary monument to commemorate elite individuals within contemporary society.
The barrow sits upon bedrock of the Corallian Group, comprising limestone, sandstone, siltstone and mudstone laid down during the Oxfordian period of the Jurassic era. This geological foundation would have shaped the availability of stone for the monument's construction and influenced water drainage across the site. The location, north of Moor House Farm at grid reference SE 66312 74253, places the barrow within a landscape that has witnessed continuous human activity from prehistoric times onward.
As a scheduled monument, the barrow benefits from legal protection against unauthorised disturbance or excavation. Such monuments are crucial to understanding Bronze Age burial practices, social hierarchies and settlement patterns in northern England. The preservation of its earthwork and any associated deposits remains essential for future archaeological investigation and interpretation.
