Round barrow on Stony Rigg, 460m south of Greenlands Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Yorkshire. The monument survives as a circular earthwork typical of barrow construction during the second millennium BC, when such structures served as communal or individual burial sites for elite and non-elite populations across the British landscape. The barrow's survival in the upland terrain of Yorkshire reflects the preservation potential of such monuments in areas less intensively cultivated than lowland regions. As a designated heritage asset, the site contributes to understanding Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in northern England.
