Cairn and carved rock on High Black Hill is a prehistoric monument located on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire. The site comprises a cairn together with an associated carved rock, positioned approximately 410 metres east-north-east of the shooting shelter within Middleton Moor Enclosure. The monument dates to the Bronze Age, a period during which cairns served as burial structures or ceremonial markers across upland regions of northern England. The carved rock element suggests ritual or symbolic significance typical of Bronze Age upland landscapes, though the precise function of the carved markings remains subject to archaeological interpretation.
