King Hengist Rein long cairn is a Neolithic monumental structure located in Yorkshire, England. The cairn represents an important example of early prehistoric funerary architecture from the fourth and third millennia BCE, a period when such elongated mounds served as communal burial monuments across northern Britain. The site's physical remains consist of a substantial stone cairn of characteristic long barrow form, reflecting the monumental building practices of Neolithic communities in this region. As a scheduled monument and entry in the National Heritage List for England, the cairn contributes to our understanding of early agricultural societies and their ritual practices in prehistoric Yorkshire.
