Cairnfield on Barningham Moor is a Bronze Age monument comprising a dispersed group of burial cairns located on elevated moorland in Yorkshire. The site consists of multiple stone cairns of varying sizes distributed across the knoll at Badger Way Stoop, reflecting typical prehistoric funerary practice on the upland landscape. The cairns represent evidence of sustained use of the moorland during the Bronze Age period, when such elevated terrain was favoured for burial monuments. The site's location on open moorland has facilitated its survival, though individual cairns have been subject to degradation and disturbance over the millennia since their construction.
