Cairn 6m in diameter south of track east of plantation on Weston Moor 300m WNW of Weston Moor Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Weston Moor in Yorkshire. The cairn consists of a roughly circular mound of stones approximately 6 metres in diameter, typical of burial cairns constructed during the Bronze Age period when such stone monuments were commonly erected across upland areas of northern England. The site's location on Weston Moor reflects the broader distribution of Bronze Age burial practices in the region, where similar cairns mark the positions of cremations and inhumations of individuals and communities. As a scheduled ancient monument, the cairn survives as evidence of prehistoric funerary ritual and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire moorlands.
