Cairn 7m in diameter north of track east of plantation on Weston Moor 450m WNW of Weston Moor Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the upland moorland of Yorkshire. The cairn, measuring approximately 7 metres in diameter, represents a characteristic form of burial monument from the Bronze Age period, when such stone heaps were constructed across Britain's moorlands as monuments to the dead. The site's location on Weston Moor reflects the preference of Bronze Age communities for elevated moorland positions for their burial cairns.
