Embanked small stone circle at Harker Mires is a Bronze Age monument located on Harkerside Moor in Yorkshire. The site consists of a small stone circle surrounded by an earthen bank or embanking, a feature that distinguishes it from unenclosed examples and suggests careful ritual or ceremonial organisation of the landscape. Such embanked stone circles are relatively uncommon in the British Bronze Age archaeological record and indicate investment of labour in monument construction beyond the circle itself. The monument survives as a significant record of prehistoric ritual practice and landscape use in the upland regions of northern England.
