Cairnfield on the north east slope of Ravock, Bowes Moor, is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising a concentration of burial cairns situated within the upland landscape of Yorkshire. The site consists of multiple stone cairns typical of the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as communal or individual burial places across the moorland regions of northern England. The exposed moorland setting of Cairnfield reflects the Bronze Age exploitation of upland areas for both settlement and mortuary practice. The monument remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric burial traditions and landscape use in the Pennine uplands.
