Cairnfield is a Bronze Age ceremonial and burial site located on the south-western slopes of Hawnby Moor in North Yorkshire. The monument comprises a round barrow and an associated standing stone, representing typical funerary monuments of the second millennium BCE. The round barrow itself survives as an earthwork mound, whilst the standing stone remains upright, together forming a landscape feature of considerable archaeological significance for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and monumental construction in the North York Moors. The site's designation within the heritage record reflects its importance as evidence of ritual and settlement patterns during the Bronze Age period in Yorkshire.
