A cairn on the summit of a knoll in the southwest corner of Scale Knoll Allotment is a prehistoric burial monument located on Barningham Moor in North Yorkshire. The cairn, situated approximately 800 metres south-east of Far East Hope, represents Bronze Age funerary practice and is characteristic of the barrow field distributions found across the moorland landscape of northern England. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork on high ground, typical of the upland cairnfield traditions of the period. Its positioning on elevated terrain reflects the placement preferences of Bronze Age communities for burial sites within the wider landscape.
