Round barrow on Gerrick Moor is a prehistoric burial mound situated approximately 680 metres north-west of Black Beck Swang in Yorkshire. It forms part of a group of four barrows locally known as Robin Hood's Butts, a traditional nomenclature reflecting folk memory rather than documented historical association. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a type of funerary monument characteristic of the second millennium before the present, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the burial places of individuals of status within their communities. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork, preserving evidence of Bronze Age settlement and burial practices in the moorland landscape.
