Three bowl barrows on Birdsall Wold is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located approximately 400 metres north-west of Vessey Pasture Farm in Yorkshire, England. The three barrows represent a characteristic form of burial monument from the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or small family groups. Bowl barrows of this type typically consist of a central burial pit or chamber surrounded by a mound of earth, often accompanied by a ditch defining the monument's perimeter. The monument's survival and scheduling as a protected heritage asset reflects its archaeological importance in understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire Wolds region.
