A cairn, a carved rock, and a rubble bank in the south west corner of Scale Knoll Allotment is an ancient barrow or burial mound located on Barningham Moor, approximately 800 metres south east of Far East Hope in Yorkshire. The monument comprises three distinct elements: a stone cairn, a rock bearing carved markings, and an associated rubble bank, which together represent the remains of a burial or ritual monument of Bronze Age date. The site's position on the open moorland is characteristic of the distribution of such barrows across the upland regions of northern England. The surviving physical remains, though fragmentary, contribute to understanding the funerary and ceremonial practices of prehistoric Yorkshire communities.
