The monuments on Highwood Brow are a group of three round barrows comprising two Iron Age examples and one Bronze Age example, situated approximately 340 metres north-east of a triangulation pillar in Yorkshire, England. These burial mounds represent successive periods of funerary practice across the later prehistoric period, with the Bronze Age barrow being amongst the earlier monuments of this type in the region. The group survives as earthwork remains typical of round barrow construction, which served as prominent landscape markers and communal burial centres for their respective Iron Age and Bronze Age communities. Such barrow groups were characteristic features of prehistoric settlement patterns in upland Yorkshire and constitute important archaeological evidence for understanding funerary practices and social organisation during these periods.
