Mount Pleasant is a Bronze Age round barrow situated on Upsall Moor in Yorkshire. The monument consists of an earthen mound characteristic of prehistoric burial practice in northern England, dating to the second millennium BCE. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials accompanied by grave goods, serving as focal points for early Bronze Age funerary ritual and landscape organisation. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork represents an important record of Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns in the moorland regions of Yorkshire.
