Cairnfield in Hagg Wood, Honley is a prehistoric burial monument consisting of a group of cairns located in the Pennine uplands of West Yorkshire. The site comprises multiple stone mounds that represent funerary structures dating to the Bronze Age, reflecting the ceremonial practices of upland communities during the second millennium BCE. The cairns have been substantially disturbed and reduced through millennia of moorland use and agricultural activity, though their archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs in the South Pennines remains important. The monument's survival in Hagg Wood illustrates the concentration of prehistoric ritual sites across the upland landscape of Yorkshire.
