Round barrow on Sproxton Moor, 410m north of Tom Smith's Cross is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on the North Yorkshire moors. The monument survives as an earthwork of circular form characteristic of barrow construction during the second millennium before the present era. Such mounds typically served as communal or elite burial monuments and represent significant evidence for prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in upland areas of northern England.
