Cairn on Midgley Moor is a prehistoric monument located on moorland in West Yorkshire, situated approximately 400 metres north east of Upper Han Royd. The structure consists of a stone cairn, a funerary or ceremonial construction characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice in upland regions of northern England. Such cairns typically served as burial monuments or territorial markers within the landscape, reflecting the settlement patterns and ritual practices of Bronze Age communities. The monument's location on open moorland is typical of cairn distributions across the Pennines, where these structures remain prominent archaeological features of the prehistoric archaeological record.
