The Group of round barrows on Bilsdale Moor 1/2 mile north-west of Fangdale Beck is a Bronze Age burial monument complex located in North Yorkshire. The site comprises multiple barrows positioned across the moorland landscape, representing funerary practice typical of the Bronze Age period when such earthen mounds served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains. Round barrows of this type, particularly when found in grouped formations, provide evidence of sustained ritual activity and settlement patterns across the upland zones of northern England during the second millennium BC. The monument's survival on open moorland, though subject to erosion and later disturbance, makes it an important archaeological record of prehistoric burial customs and territorial organization in the Yorkshire uplands.
