Two square barrows on Coomb Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located 530 metres west of Coomb Slack Farm in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises two distinct square-ditched barrows, a form of burial mound characteristic of later prehistory, which would have served as prominent markers within the landscape and repositories for the deceased and grave goods. The precise dating and excavation history of these particular barrows remain limited in the published scholarly record, though their form places them within the broad tradition of formal burial mounding practised across Bronze Age Britain. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork feature and is recorded under the National Heritage List for England.
