The grave, in the village of Buzova, holds the bodies of dozens of civilians killed by invading Russian forces, the ukrinform.net website reported, citing Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian interior minister.
The discovery comes as Ukrainian law enforcers continue to gather evidence of atrocities committed by the Russian military against civilians in the liberated towns and villages of the Kyiv region, ukrinform.net reported.
It quoted Gerashchenko as saying that, according to eyewitnesses, "there is a burnt-out car nearby, in which a 17-year-old teenager was burnt alive and a woman lost half of her head."
Gerashchenko added that "local authorities believe that at least 50 locals had been killed by the occupiers," according to ukrinform.net.
The towns of Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel and the entire Kyiv region were recaptured by Ukrainian forces from Russian control in early April, the website reported. Mass killings of civilians were recorded in the liberated towns and villages, it said.
According to Ukraine's Prosecutor-General Iryna Venediktova, the bodies of 1,222 civilians killed by invading Russian forces have been found in the Kyiv region, ukrinform.net reported.
Monday is day 47 of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the United Nations Security Council last week that invading Russian troops committed "the most terrible war crimes" in his country since World War II.
Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki last week called for an international probe into what he described as acts of genocide committed by Russian forces in Ukraine.
