Round cairn cemetery at High Greens is a Bronze Age burial site located approximately 460 metres south-east of Brecken Howe in Yorkshire, England. The cemetery comprises multiple round cairns, representing a characteristic funerary monument type of the Bronze Age period, when communal and individual burial practices involved the construction of stone or earth mounds over cremated or inhumed remains. Such cairn cemeteries are significant archaeological indicators of settlement patterns and ritual practices during the second and early first millennia before Christ. The site's designation as a scheduled monument reflects its importance as evidence for understanding Bronze Age mortuary behaviour and the organisation of prehistoric communities in northern England.
