The Group of round barrows on Bilsdale Moor 1/2 mile northwest of Fangdale Beck is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in North Yorkshire. The site comprises multiple round barrows distributed across the moorland landscape, representing a characteristic burial practice of the Bronze Age period, typically dating from approximately 2000 to 1000 BCE. Such barrow groups commonly served as cemeteries for successive generations of a local community and are significant indicators of settlement patterns and social organisation during prehistory. The moorland setting has preserved the earthworks with minimal later disturbance, making this group a valuable archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age burial customs and landscape use in the Yorkshire uplands.
