Ring cairn 310m north of Woodhead on Harden Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in the upland landscape of Yorkshire. The site consists of a circular cairn of stones arranged in a ring formation, a burial practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period across northern England. Such monuments typically served as the focal point for burial rituals and may have contained cremated or inhumed remains, though the specific contents and construction details of this particular example reflect broader patterns of prehistoric funerary architecture on the moorland uplands.
