Overview

History & significance

Two round barrows on the summit of Haw Rigg, 370 metres south-east of Job Cross is an ancient monument comprising two Bronze Age burial mounds located on high ground in Yorkshire. The barrows represent funerary monuments typical of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the burial places of individuals of elevated status within their communities.
