Two round barrows at Settrington High Barn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in North Yorkshire. The barrows form part of the broader barrow cemetery tradition characteristic of the second millennium BCE, when such earthwork mounds served as burial markers for individuals of presumed social status within Early and Middle Bronze Age communities. The monuments retain their characteristic circular mounded form, though like many barrows of their type they have been subject to erosion and agricultural activity over the millennia since their construction. The site contributes to the archaeological record of ritual practices and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire region during the Bronze Age.
