Square barrow on West Ayton Moor is a Bronze Age burial monument situated approximately 1100 metres south-west of Cockrah House in Yorkshire. The barrow takes the form of a square earthwork, a burial mound type characteristic of the Bronze Age period in northern England. Such square barrows typically contained cremated or inhumed human remains and often represent the graves of individuals of social status within prehistoric communities. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and contributes to the archaeological landscape of West Ayton Moor, which contains other prehistoric funerary monuments of the same period.
