Two round barrows on Three Howes Rigg is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on high moorland in Yorkshire. The site comprises two distinct burial mounds situated approximately 560 metres south-south-east of White Cross. Round barrows of this type typically date from the Bronze Age, though some may originate in the later Neolithic period, and represent the burial practices of prehistoric communities in the upland regions of northern England. The monument's location on exposed moorland is characteristic of barrow placement in Yorkshire's upland zones, where such earthworks remain prominent topographic features in the landscape.
