Round barrow on Siss Cross Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Yorkshire, northwest of Black Beck Swang. The monument represents a typical form of funerary architecture from the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to contain cremated or inhumed remains and served as visible markers in the landscape for communities in the region. The barrow's survival to the present day, despite centuries of agricultural use and weathering, contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and ritual practice in Yorkshire.
