Rudston Beacon and round barrows to east

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Rudston Beacon and round barrows to east as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Rudston Beacon is a Neolithic long barrow, dating to around 3500–2500 BCE, and is one of the earliest known megalithic monuments in Yorkshire. It is significant as a rare surviving example of a chambered tomb in the region, reflecting early ceremonial and funerary practices.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
