Cairns on Kiln Bank is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Lancashire, situated approximately 270 to 800 metres south-southeast of Far Kiln Bank Farmhouse. The site comprises multiple cairns, characteristic of the Bronze Age burial tradition in upland northern England, where such stone mounds were constructed as durable monuments to mark the dead. These cairns represent an important aspect of Bronze Age ritual practice and settlement patterns in the Pennine landscape, offering evidence of the symbolic and territorial significance placed upon elevated moorland locations during the second millennium BCE. The monument's survival as visible earthworks provides archaeological data regarding prehistoric funerary customs and the organisation of Bronze Age communities in this region.
