Two round barrows on Newclose Rigg, 810m north east of High Rigg Farm, is an ancient monument comprising two Bronze Age burial mounds situated on moorland in Yorkshire. The barrows represent funerary monuments typical of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark elite or significant burials and served as focal points in the ritual landscape. The site's location on elevated moorland is characteristic of Bronze Age barrow placement in upland regions of northern England, where such monuments often cluster across the open landscape. The barrows remain visible as earthwork features, preserving evidence of prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns in the region.
