A cairn and a carved rock west of Cowclose Gill, in Scale Knoll Allotment, 460m west of Haythwaite, Barningham Moor, is a prehistoric monument located on the North York Moors. The site comprises a substantial burial cairn and an associated rock carving, both of which date to the Bronze Age, a period during which such monumental structures were constructed across northern England as burial monuments and territorial markers. The carved rock features cup and ring markings, a common form of prehistoric rock art found throughout this region, whilst the cairn itself represents a typical funerary structure of the period. These monuments form part of the significant concentration of Bronze Age activity recorded across Barningham Moor and its surrounding landscape, demonstrating the ritual and burial practices of prehistoric communities in upland Yorkshire.
