The round barrow at North Moor is a scheduled monument located 380 metres north-east of Forest Lodge in Yorkshire. The monument sits upon geology of the Corallian Group, a sequence of limestone, sandstone, siltstone and mudstone deposited during the Oxfordian age of the Jurassic period. This solid foundation has helped preserve the barrow's earthwork through millennia of exposure to the moorland climate.
Round barrows of this type typically date to the Bronze Age, when they served as burial monuments for members of an emerging elite society. The North Moor example occupies a scheduled area of 0.02 hectares and is protected by Historic England as a nationally significant archaeological site, registered under reference number 1017031. The monument's survival as a recognisable earthwork testifies to its construction and the defensive qualities of the underlying bedrock.
The barrow's placement on North Moor positions it within a landscape that has been shaped by both geological processes and human use over thousands of years. Its protection as a scheduled monument ensures that this Bronze Age monument remains available for future archaeological investigation and public understanding of Yorkshire's pre-Roman heritage.
