Cairnfield at Codhill Slack is a Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary landscape situated in the upland regions of Yorkshire, comprising a ring cairn, round barrow and standing stone positioned approximately 670 metres north east of Percy Cross. The site demonstrates the form of ritual monument construction typical of the later Bronze Age period, when such complexes served functions related to burial, ancestor veneration and territorial marking on high ground. The ring cairn and round barrow represent distinct burial traditions, whilst the standing stone indicates the ceremonial significance attributed to this location in prehistoric times. The survival of all three monument elements at this site provides an important record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary practice in the Yorkshire uplands.
