Round barrow in Wykeham Forest, 440m east of Jenny Thrush Spring is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The barrow represents a characteristic burial practice of the Bronze Age period, when communities across Britain constructed earthen mounds to contain inhumations or cremations of their deceased, often accompanied by grave goods. Such monuments are valuable archaeological sources for understanding settlement patterns, social organisation, and ritual practices in prehistoric Yorkshire. The barrow's survival within Wykeham Forest has enabled it to retain archaeological integrity and contributes to the wider distribution of Bronze Age funerary monuments across the region.
