Cairn with an oval bank on Midgley Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the moorland of the South Pennines in West Yorkshire. The site consists of a stone cairn surrounded by an oval earthwork bank, a configuration typical of Pennine burial monuments from the second millennium before the present. Such monuments served as repositories for cremated human remains and marked territorial significance within Bronze Age communities exploiting the upland landscape. The oval bank enclosure suggests a deliberate architectural framework elevating the cairn's ceremonial and commemorative importance within the contemporary ritual landscape.
