Acklam Wold barrow group is a Bronze Age burial monument located in North Yorkshire, comprising a bowl barrow situated approximately 180 metres north-west of Acklam Wold House. The barrow represents a characteristic funerary monument of the Early Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed as communal or high-status burial sites across the Yorkshire landscape. The monument survives as a substantial earthwork despite centuries of agricultural use, preserving evidence of prehistoric funerary practices and settlement patterns in the region. Its designation as a nationally important heritage asset reflects its archaeological significance as part of the broader barrow landscape characteristic of Bronze Age Yorkshire.
