Round barrow in Broxa Forest 850m WSW of Highdales is a Bronze Age burial mound located in the North York Moors, Yorkshire. The barrow survives as an earthwork monument typical of funerary practices in northern England during the second millennium BC, when such mounds served as conspicuous markers of elite or community burials. The monument's survival within the forest environment has preserved its form, though like many such barrows it has been subject to antiquarian investigation and the various disturbances that characterise upland burial sites. Its designation as a nationally important monument reflects its archaeological value as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Yorkshire uplands.
