Round barrow in the west of Scarrish Wood is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Yorkshire. The monument survives as an earthwork of substantial proportions and represents a funerary practice characteristic of the second millennium before the present, when such barrows served as focal points for ritual and burial activity across the British landscape. The site's preservation within woodland has afforded it protection from modern agricultural disturbance, allowing its original form to remain relatively intact. As a recorded archaeological monument, it contributes to the archaeological landscape of the region and demonstrates the distribution of Bronze Age mortuary practices in northern England.
