Two round barrows on Yearsley Moor 260m SSE of High Lions' Lodge is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the North York Moors. The site comprises two distinct burial mounds, typical of the barrow-building tradition that flourished across the British uplands during the Bronze Age, roughly between 2200 and 800 BCE. Such monuments served as visible markers of burial sites and likely held significant ritual and territorial importance for the communities that constructed them. The barrows' survival on Yearsley Moor reflects the relative archaeological continuity of upland landscapes, where later agricultural development has been comparatively limited.
