Cairn on Green Scar, 470m south-east of New Bridge, is a Bronze Age burial monument comprising a stone cairn typical of upland Yorkshire burial practices. The site consists of a mound of stones constructed as a funerary deposit, characteristic of the later prehistoric period when such monuments served as communal or individual burial places across the Pennine landscape. Its location in the uplands reflects the Bronze Age settlement and land use patterns of the region, where cairns were frequently placed in prominent positions on moorland. The monument remains a significant archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice in northern England.
