Two bowl barrows on Birdsall Wold is a pair of Bronze Age burial mounds located in the Wolds of North Yorkshire, situated between Birdsall Dale and Vessey Pasture Dale. The monuments are representative of the funerary practices of the second millennium BC, when communities across the Yorkshire Wolds constructed these earthen mounds to mark the graves of their dead. Bowl barrows are the most common form of Bronze Age burial monument, characterised by a circular mound of earth and stone lacking the ditched enclosures of more elaborate barrow types. The two examples at Birdsall Wold remain visible features of the prehistoric landscape, contributing to the archaeological significance of the Wolds region, though their current condition and the nature of any surviving deposits are not fully detailed in accessible records.
