Round barrow in Wykeham Forest, 440m east of Jenny Thrush Spring is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound and represents a burial practice common to prehistoric Britain, particularly during the Bronze Age when round barrows were the predominant form of elite burial. The monument's location within Wykeham Forest reflects the landscape of northern England during prehistory, though subsequent woodland management has shaped its present-day setting. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains a significant record of funerary practice and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire region during the later prehistoric period.
