Square barrow cemetery, moated site, fishponds and medieval settlement remains at Scorborough is a complex of archaeological monuments in Yorkshire documenting settlement and land use from the Bronze Age through the medieval period. The site comprises a cemetery of square barrows, a characteristic burial form of the Bronze Age, alongside later medieval features including a moated enclosure, fishponds, and the earthwork remains of a settlement. The square barrows represent an important funerary landscape from the second millennium BC, whilst the moated site and associated fishponds reflect the medieval reorganisation and exploitation of the same location. Together these overlapping monuments illustrate the long continuity of occupation and the development of settlement patterns across more than two millennia in this part of Yorkshire.
