Seamer Beacon Tumuli is a group of three prehistoric round barrows, located on Seamer Beacon to the west of Scarborough, Yorkshire, in the North Riding. The central barrow occupies the highest position and now survives as a mound around 33ft in diameter and 3ft high. A stone tower folly, known as Baron Albert's Tower, was constructed on it in the 19th century. To the north of this barrow another barrow, 35ft in diameter by 3ft in height, is visible as a lobate platform extending out from the natural hill slope. To the south of the central barrow and lower down the slope, a third barrow, 65ft in diameter and 6ft in height, also extends out from the hill slope. The monument is within the council area of North Yorkshire.
