Round barrow, lime kiln and warrening enclosure in Wykeham Forest is a complex of three distinct monument types located in the North York Moors landscape east of Jenny Thrush Spring. The site comprises a prehistoric round barrow, a post-medieval lime kiln, and a medieval or early modern warrening enclosure, reflecting successive periods of land use and exploitation across the site. The round barrow represents Bronze Age burial practice, whilst the lime kiln testifies to the post-medieval extraction and processing of limestone, a common industrial activity across the moorland. The warrening enclosure indicates the deliberate management of rabbit populations for food and fur, a practice characteristic of medieval and early modern manorial economies in upland regions.
