Cairn on Addlebrough Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The cairn comprises a mound of stones that once covered a burial or burials, typical of Bronze Age sepulchral practice across upland regions of northern England. The site is notable for the presence of cup marked boulders, which bear the characteristic shallow, circular indentations created through percussive stone working, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period. These cup marks represent some of the earliest rock art traditions in Britain and suggest the monument and its associated stones held significance extending beyond their primary funerary function.
