Cairn, 545m ESE of Bragg House, Barningham Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the North Yorkshire moors. The site consists of a stone cairn constructed as a burial structure typical of the Bronze Age period, reflecting the funerary practices of communities in northern England during the second millennium BCE. Such cairns served as prominent markers of the landscape and repositories for the remains of the deceased, often accompanied by grave goods. The monument's survival on Barningham Moor demonstrates the preservation of Bronze Age burial practices in the upland areas of Yorkshire, contributing to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary behaviour in the region.
