Round barrow and L-shaped earthwork on Baildon Golf Course is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the moorland of Baildon near Saltaire in West Yorkshire. The site comprises a round barrow, a characteristic burial mound of the Bronze Age period, alongside an associated L-shaped earthwork of uncertain function, features that reflect the ritual and territorial practices of prehistoric communities in the Pennine region. The monument's survival on the golf course demonstrates the archaeological value of upland areas in preserving Bronze Age evidence. Both the barrow and the earthwork remain visible features on the landscape, though their precise dating and the purpose of the L-shaped element require further investigation within the broader context of Bronze Age settlement patterns in Yorkshire.
