Hanging Grimston barrow group is a Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of three bowl barrows located approximately 350 metres north-east of Wold Farm in Yorkshire, England. The barrows form part of the extensive prehistoric burial landscape characteristic of the Yorkshire Wolds, where such earthworks represent significant funerary practices of the second millennium BCE. The monument survives as three distinct earthen mounds, typical of the bowl barrow form which comprises a circular burial chamber beneath a dome-shaped earthwork, though their present state reflects the effects of agricultural use and natural erosion over the intervening millennia. The site is designated as a nationally important ancient monument and protected under the national heritage listing.
