Round barrow on Highwood Brow, 420m south east of Mount Misery is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of Prehistoric funerary practice, constructed during the Bronze Age period when such barrows served as the focal points for elite burial and community memory. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork, despite agricultural use of the landscape, preserves evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the region. As a scheduled monument, it remains a valuable archaeological resource for understanding the ceremonial and social structures of Bronze Age Yorkshire communities.
