Three round barrows 600m NW of Steeple Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Yorkshire. The site comprises three distinct round barrows, earthwork structures characteristic of burial practice during the Bronze Age period, when such mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or small family groups. Round barrows of this type were typically raised over inhumed or cremated remains and often accompanied by grave goods, serving as visible markers of status and territorial presence in the landscape. The survival of three barrows in close proximity at this location demonstrates the significance of the area as a burial ground during prehistory.
