Overview

History & significance

Round barrow SE of Willerby Wold House is a Bronze Age burial mound located on the Yorkshire Wolds in East Yorkshire. The barrow survives as an earthwork of characteristic rounded form typical of Bronze Age funerary monuments, which were constructed across upland chalk terrain in this region during the second millennium BC. Such barrows commonly contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for ritual activity and territorial demarcation within Bronze Age communities. The monument's preservation within the agricultural landscape of the Wolds demonstrates the survival of prehistoric burial evidence in areas where similar round barrows form part of extensive barrow cemeteries.
