Barrow Cemetery in Yorkshire (North). This group of Bronze Age bowl barrows consists of three burial mounds located on the top of Cold Moor, in a commanding position over the North-Western part of the North York Moors National Park.

The South-Western barrow (NZ 55220176) has an elongated depression in its top part, probably a result of excavations. Several large stones are visible in its structure.

The North-Western barrow (NZ 55200182) has partly preserved kerbing, in its central part there is a post-excavation hollow as well.

The Eastern barrow (NZ 55240180) is the largest of three, and like the others its interior is disturbed. Its quarry ditch is no longer distinguishable.

South of the cemetery there is another Bronze Age bowl barrow.
