Carved rock and two cairns 180m ESE of the shooting shelter, Middleton Moor Enclosure is a Bronze Age monument complex located on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire. The site comprises a carved rock featuring cup-and-ring markings typical of prehistoric rock art, accompanied by two burial cairns that reflect the funerary practices of Bronze Age communities. The cup-and-ring carvings represent evidence of ritual or symbolic activity during the Bronze Age period, whilst the cairns indicate the use of the moor as a burial landscape. This grouping exemplifies the clustering of Bronze Age ritual and funerary monuments characteristic of upland areas across northern England during the second millennium before the present.
