Square barrow in Broxa Forest, 580m south east of Whisperdales is a Bronze Age burial monument located in the North York Moors. The barrow is square in plan, a distinctive form that characterises a particular tradition of elite burial practice during the Bronze Age period. Such square barrows are relatively uncommon in Yorkshire and represent a notable variation from the more frequently encountered round barrows of the same era. The monument survives as an earthwork and remains a significant archaeological record of prehistoric funerary practice and social organisation in the region.
