Dane's Graves is a Bronze Age cemetery located near Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial group of burial mounds, or barrows, dating to the Bronze Age and representing one of the most important concentrations of such monuments in Yorkshire. The cemetery reflects the funerary practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in northern England, with evidence of multiple burials suggesting use over an extended period. The site remains significant for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs in the region, though many of the mounds have been reduced in size through ploughing and agricultural activity over the centuries.
