Hanging Grimston barrow group is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 450 metres north-east of Wold Farm in Yorkshire. The site comprises a bowl barrow, the characteristic burial mound form of the Bronze Age period, constructed as a low earthen dome to cover inhumed or cremated remains. Such barrows were typically erected during the Early to Middle Bronze Age and served as communal or family burial places for local populations. The monument survives as an earthwork and forms part of the broader archaeological landscape of barrow groups distributed across the Yorkshire Wolds, an area particularly rich in prehistoric burial remains.
