Round barrow on Maw Rigg is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on moorland near High Langdale End in Yorkshire. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound and forms part of the dispersed pattern of burial monuments that characterise the Bronze Age landscape of the Pennines and surrounding upland regions. Such round barrows typically served as burial places for individuals of status within their communities, often containing inhumations or cremations accompanied by grave goods. The monument's survival on open moorland reflects the preservation conditions of higher-altitude sites in northern England where post-Bronze Age agricultural development has been limited.
