Cairn 290m north of Woodhead on Harden Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on moorland in Yorkshire. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial or ceremonial marker, typical of the Bronze Age period when such monuments were widely erected across upland regions of northern England. Its survival on exposed moorland, where such sites are often better preserved than in lowland areas subject to agricultural activity, makes it a significant archaeological record of prehistoric burial practice and settlement patterns in the Pennines.
