Cairnfield on Ravock is a Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary landscape situated on moorland in Yorkshire. The site comprises a scatter of cairns and associated features typical of upland Bronze Age activity, reflecting the use of such terrain for burial and ritual purposes during the second millennium BC. The monument's location on open moorland, northwest of Rovegill House, is characteristic of Bronze Age funerary sites, which were often positioned in prominent upland settings. The cairnfield represents an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the northern English uplands.
