Two round barrows in Dalby Forest, 70m north of Broad Head Farm, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in the North York Moors. The barrows survive as earthwork mounds that form part of the scattered burial tradition of the Bronze Age, when such monuments were constructed across the upland regions of northern England as markers of significant individuals and family groups. Their location within Dalby Forest reflects the pattern of Bronze Age activity in moorland landscapes, though subsequent afforestation has affected the preservation and visibility of the site. The barrows remain a testament to prehistoric burial practices and the settlement patterns of Bronze Age communities in Yorkshire.
