Square barrow on Silpho Moor 680m SSE of Breckenhurst is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The monument takes the form of a square earthwork surrounded by a ditch, a distinctive burial form found across Bronze Age Britain, typically dating to the second millennium BCE. Such square barrows represent a significant shift in funerary practice from earlier Neolithic round barrows and reflect the changing ritual and social practices of Bronze Age communities. The site's location on Silpho Moor places it within a wider landscape of Bronze Age activity characteristic of the North York Moors region, which contains numerous contemporary funerary and ceremonial monuments.
