Two bowl barrows on Huggate Wold is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 600 metres north-west of Horsedale Plantation in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises two burial mounds typical of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as prominent territorial and commemorative features across the chalk uplands of the East Riding. Bowl barrows of this form consist of a central burial chamber or grave beneath a distinctive rounded earthen mound, constructed to mark the resting place of individuals of presumed social importance. The survival of both barrows as discernible topographic features demonstrates the significance of Huggate Wold as an area of sustained Bronze Age mortuary activity.
