Three bowl barrows on Birdsall Wold is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately four hundred metres north-west of Vessey Pasture Farm in Yorkshire. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, the characteristic earthen mounds of the Bronze Age burial tradition that are widely distributed across the chalk and limestone uplands of northern England. These monuments represent the ritual landscape of the second and early first millennia BCE, when such barrows served as prominent markers of burial and territorial identity within agrarian communities. The barrows survive as archaeological features contributing to the wider Birdsall Wold complex, an area of significant Bronze Age activity and land use in the Yorkshire Wolds.
