Group of seventeen tumuli to the N of Greenlands Howe, on the east side of Sleights Moor is a Bronze Age barrow cemetery situated in North Yorkshire. The monument comprises seventeen burial mounds distributed across the moorland landscape, representing a significant concentration of funerary activity from the Bronze Age period. These tumuli are characteristic of the widespread barrow-building tradition that flourished across the Yorkshire uplands during the second millennium BC, when such earthworks served as focal points for burial and ritual practice within Bronze Age communities. The survival of the group as a coherent archaeological site reflects the relative preservation of upland monuments on Sleights Moor, where subsequent land-use has left the barrows largely undisturbed.
