Three round barrows and six cup and ring marked rocks, located 740 metres south-east of Howdale Farm in Yorkshire, comprises Bronze Age funerary monuments and earlier rock art. The three round barrows represent typical burial mounds of the Bronze Age period, whilst the six rocks bearing cup and ring markings belong to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age tradition of rock art, characterized by pecked circular depressions and concentric rings. The coexistence of these two categories of monument at a single location suggests a landscape of sustained ritual and ceremonial significance extending across multiple prehistoric periods. The site demonstrates the enduring importance of this upland location as a focus for burial practice and ceremonial activity during the prehistoric era.
