Overview

History & significance

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.
