Hanging Grimston barrow group is a Bronze Age ceremonial monument located approximately 450 metres north-east of Wold Farm in Yorkshire. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a characteristic funerary structure of the Bronze Age period, constructed as an earthen mound over a central burial or cremation deposit. Such barrows are testament to the ritual practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities on the Yorkshire Wolds, where they remain important archaeological indicators of prehistoric settlement and burial customs.
