Hesketh Dike and Silver Hill round barrow is an ancient burial monument located in Yorkshire, England, comprising a Bronze Age round barrow associated with the Cleave Dyke system. The site represents an important element of prehistoric ritual landscape and territorial markers, with the barrow itself typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in northern England. The round barrow survives as an earthwork mound, whilst its relationship to the linear dyke system indicates broader patterns of land division and ceremonial use across the wider moorland landscape. The monument's survival and documented record contribute significantly to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and boundary systems in the Yorkshire region.
