Cairn in Brazen Gate Woods 260m NNE of Long Ashes is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire. The site consists of a cairn, a mound constructed from stones rather than earth, which represents a funerary practice common to upland regions during the Bronze Age period. Such cairns typically covered cremated or inhumed burials and often formed part of larger cemetery complexes on moorland landscapes. The monument's survival into the modern period demonstrates the enduring archaeological value of Yorkshire's upland areas for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns.
