Aldro earthworks is a bowl barrow situated on Hanging Grimston Wold in Yorkshire, approximately fifty metres north-west of Stone Sleights Farm. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of burial mound characteristic of the second millennium BC, when such earthworks served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains. The barrow survives as an earthwork of modest dimensions typical of bowl barrows, which are among the most common funerary monuments from this period in the Yorkshire Wolds region. This site contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practice in the northern English uplands.
