Square barrow cemetery, 670m north west of Creyke Farm, is a Bronze Age burial ground comprising a group of square burial mounds distributed across the Yorkshire landscape. The cemetery represents a characteristic form of mortuary monument construction during the Bronze Age period, when such squared or rectilinear barrow forms became prevalent in certain regions of northern England. The site demonstrates the burial practices and territorial organisation of Bronze Age communities in Yorkshire, with multiple interred individuals reflecting the social structures of prehistoric society. The monument's survival and archaeological record contribute to understanding the distribution and development of barrow cemeteries across the Pennine regions during the second millennium before the present era.
