Round barrows and entrenchments on Egton High Moor is a Bronze Age funerary and landscape monument located in North Yorkshire. The site comprises multiple round barrows, earthen mounds constructed as burial monuments, together with associated linear entrenchments that form part of the wider prehistoric field systems and territorial boundaries of the upland landscape. These monuments date to the Bronze Age, when such barrow cemeteries and field divisions were characteristic of settlement patterns on the North York Moors. The combination of burial mounds with entrenchment systems reflects the organised use of moorland for both funerary practice and pastoral agriculture during this period.
