Acklam Wold barrow group is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 300 metres north-west of Acklam Wold House in Yorkshire. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a characteristic burial mound form of the Bronze Age, constructed as a simple hemispherical earthwork to contain cremated or inhumed remains and associated grave goods. Bowl barrows of this type are amongst the most common barrow forms found in upland regions of northern England and typically date from the mid-second millennium BC. The monument remains a significant archaeological record of prehistoric funerary practice and Bronze Age settlement patterns in the Yorkshire uplands.
