Two round barrows, Staxton Brow is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises two Bronze Age burial mounds situated on high ground, typical of the burial practices of communities in northern Britain during the second millennium before the common era. Round barrows of this period commonly contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods such as pottery and metalwork that provide evidence of the ritual and material culture of Bronze Age society. The monument's location on elevated terrain reflects the deliberate placement of such funerary structures in prominent landscape positions, a practice characteristic of Bronze Age burial traditions in the region.
