Cairn 6m in diameter south of track east of plantation on Weston Moor is an ancient burial mound of Bronze Age date located on Weston Moor in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a cairn of stone construction measuring approximately six metres in diameter, situated in the upland landscape south of a track and east of a plantation, some three hundred metres west-northwest of Weston Moor Cottage.
