Cairn and ring mound on Long Moor, W of Gill House Beck is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Lancashire. The site comprises a cairn, a mound of stones erected as a burial structure, associated with a ring mound that typically denotes a ceremonial or domestic enclosure of the same period. Such monuments are characteristic of the Bronze Age burial practices in upland areas of northern England, reflecting the ritual and social practices of prehistoric communities. The monument's survival on Long Moor demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age archaeological remains in the Pennine landscape, though its precise dimensions and current condition are best established through site survey records held by the heritage listing authority.
