Cairnfield on Standingstones Rigg is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England, comprising a scatter of burial cairns across the moorland landscape. The site includes associated cup and ring marked rock art panels situated approximately 780 to 800 metres north-west of Linglands Farm, which demonstrate the ritual and ceremonial use of this upland territory during the Bronze Age period. The rock carvings, featuring the characteristic concentric circular motifs typical of prehistoric rock art traditions in northern Britain, indicate the symbolic importance of the natural rock outcrops within the wider burial landscape. The cairnfield represents a significant concentration of funerary activity and reflects Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use in the Pennine uplands.
