Cairnfield on Broomhead Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in the upland landscape of the South Yorkshire moors, approximately 500 metres north-west of Mortimer House. The site comprises a concentration of burial cairns, characteristic of the extensive cairn fields that are distributed across the Pennine moorlands and represent a significant phase of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the region. These monuments, constructed from stone gathered from the surrounding moorland, reflect the funerary practices and territorial organisation of Bronze Age communities occupying the high moors. The cairnfield contributes to our understanding of prehistoric land use patterns and social practices across the Yorkshire uplands during the second millennium before the present era.
