A Round barrow on Skipwith Common, 810m south of Skipwith Church is a Bronze Age burial mound situated in the Vale of York, North Yorkshire. The monument survives as an earthwork of modest proportions, representing a funerary practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such barrows served as communal or individual burial structures within the landscape. The barrow's location on Skipwith Common places it within a broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the region, though detailed archaeological investigation of this specific monument has not been extensively documented in the modern scholarly record. Its survival in the modern landscape demonstrates the persistence of these prehistoric monuments despite subsequent land use and agricultural activity in the area.
