Three barrows at Seamer Beacon is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located near Scarborough in North Yorkshire. The barrows represent an important example of prehistoric burial practice on the Yorkshire coast, situated on high ground that would have commanded significant views across the surrounding landscape. The monuments date to the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds served as ritual burial places for elite members of contemporary society. The site's elevated position at Seamer Beacon reflects the deliberate placement of such monuments in visually prominent locations, a practice characteristic of Bronze Age burial traditions in northern England.
