Cairnfield on Ravock is a Bronze Age cairn cemetery located on Bowes Moor in Yorkshire, comprising multiple burial monuments arranged across the moorland landscape. The site consists of several cairns of varying sizes, typical of Bronze Age funerary practices in northern England, where such monuments served as communal or individual burial markers. The precise arrangement and condition of the individual cairns reflect the settlement and burial patterns of Bronze Age communities in the upland regions of the Pennines. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site represents an important record of prehistoric activity on Bowes Moor and contributes to understanding of burial practices and land use during the Bronze Age period.
