Cairnfield is a prehistoric ceremonial and funerary complex located on Low Plain, Baildon Moor in West Yorkshire. The site comprises a ring cairn and associated carved rocks dating to the Bronze Age, representing evidence of ritual activity and burial practices during the second millennium before the present era. The ring cairn's circular stone construction and the presence of carved rock surfaces suggest this was a place of significance for local communities, possibly serving functions related to both commemoration of the dead and wider ceremonial observance.
