Commondale Moor cairn cemetery is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in North Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial group of burial cairns distributed across the moorland landscape, representing an important focus for ceremonial activity and elite burial practice during the second millennium BC. The cairns vary in size and state of preservation, with some retaining clear structural definition whilst others have become degraded through subsequent land use and weathering. The cemetery exemplifies the widespread tradition of cairn construction across the upland regions of northern England during the Bronze Age period.
