Hanging Grimston barrow group is a Bronze Age burial monument located approximately 200 metres west of Wold Farm in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a characteristic mound form of the Early Bronze Age period, which would have served as a funerary structure for high-status individuals or family groups.
