The round barrow on Silpho Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in North Yorkshire, situated approximately 780 metres north-north-east of Whisperdales. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices, representing a significant example of prehistoric funerary architecture in the region. Such monuments typically date from the second millennium before the common era and served as burial places for individuals of status within Bronze Age communities. The site's location on the moor reflects the placement of many such barrows in upland areas, which may indicate both practical considerations and the ritual significance of elevated landscapes in Bronze Age society.
