Cairnfield on Standingstones Rigg is a Bronze Age ceremonial monument complex located in Yorkshire, England, comprising scattered cairns and cup and ring marked rocks distributed across the upland landscape northwest of Linglands Farm. The site includes notable cup and ring marked rock outcrops positioned approximately 780 metres and 800 metres northwest of the farm, featuring prehistoric rock art typical of the Bronze Age period. Such cup and ring marked stones represent significant evidence of ritual or territorial activity during the second and early first millennia before Christ, reflecting the sophisticated symbolic practices of Bronze Age communities in northern Britain. The dispersed arrangement of cairns and decorated rocks across the moorland suggests the site served important ceremonial or burial functions within the broader landscape of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the Pennine uplands.
