Square barrow on West Ayton Moor is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on moorland in North Yorkshire. The structure comprises a square earthwork surrounded by a ditch, a form characteristic of funerary monuments dating to the Bronze Age period. Such square barrows represent a distinctive tradition of elite burial practice and would originally have contained cremated or inhumed remains along with grave goods. The monument survives as an upstanding archaeological feature on the moorland landscape, contributing to the wider Bronze Age barrow cemetery distribution across the region.
