Hanging Grimston barrow group is a Bronze Age burial monument located approximately 400 metres south-west of Wold Farm in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a characteristic mound form typical of Early Bronze Age funerary practice in Britain, dating to the second millennium BCE. Bowl barrows of this type served as burial monuments for individuals of status within prehistoric communities and often contained inhumations or cremations accompanied by grave goods. The monument's survival on the Yorkshire Wolds reflects the archaeological importance of this region for understanding Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practices in northern England.
