Group of seventeen tumuli to the N of Greenlands Howe, on the east side of Sleights Moor is a Bronze Age barrow cemetery located in the moorland landscape of North Yorkshire. The monument consists of seventeen burial mounds distributed across the elevated terrain, representing a significant cluster of funerary monuments from the second millennium BCE. These tumuli, like others on Sleights Moor, form part of the concentrated Bronze Age ritual landscape of the North Yorkshire moors, which contains numerous such barrow groups reflecting patterns of prehistoric settlement and mortuary practice. The site's moorland location and preservation within an upland environment have protected the earthworks from intensive agricultural disturbance, allowing them to retain their archaeological integrity.
