Cairnfield on Ravock is a prehistoric burial monument located in the upland terrain of Yorkshire, consisting of a concentration of cairns dating to the Bronze Age. The site comprises multiple stone burial mounds distributed across the moorland landscape northwest of Rovegill House, representative of the funerary practices characteristic of Bronze Age communities in northern England. The cairns would have served as durable markers for interred remains and possibly as focal points for ritual activity within the wider ritual landscape of the Bronze Age uplands. Such cairnfield monuments are significant archaeological remains that provide evidence of settlement patterns, funerary traditions, and land use during the Bronze Age period.
