Round cairn south east of Broad Flats is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a round cairn, a mound constructed from stones rather than earth, which represents a characteristic funerary practice of the Bronze Age period. Such cairns typically marked the burial of individuals of some status and often contained cremated or inhumed remains, sometimes accompanied by grave goods. The monument's survival to the present day, despite the passage of millennia and subsequent land use, provides evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Yorkshire landscape.
