Hanging Grimston barrow group is a Bronze Age cemetery comprising four bowl barrows and the adjoining remains of a cross dyke situated approximately 600 metres south-south-west of Thixendale Grange in Yorkshire. The barrows represent typical burial monuments of the Early to Middle Bronze Age, constructed as earthen mounds to mark the graves of individuals or small communities. The associated cross dyke, a linear earthwork of considerable length, may have served territorial or administrative functions alongside the mortuary monuments. Together, the barrow group and dyke form a landscape of archaeological importance that illustrates Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary practice in the Yorkshire Wolds.
