The Cairn and carved rock on High Black Hill is an ancient burial monument situated on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire. The site comprises a cairn, a mound constructed from stones heaped over a burial or ceremonial deposit, alongside a rock surface bearing carved markings. Dating to the Bronze Age, such cairns represent a significant form of funerary practice in northern Britain during the second millennium BCE. The carved rock element indicates ritual or symbolic activity associated with the burial tradition, though the precise nature and dating of the rock art requires further archaeological investigation.
