Maw Rigg cairnfield is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Langdale Forest in Yorkshire. The site comprises a cluster of burial cairns distributed across moorland terrain, representing settlement and commemorative practices characteristic of the second millennium BC. The cairns vary in size and preservation, with some standing as substantial stone structures whilst others are more heavily degraded, reflecting centuries of exposure to weathering and land management. This monument type is common across northern English upland regions and provides archaeological evidence of Bronze Age burial customs and territorial organisation in the Pennine landscape.
