Ring cairn, 340m north west of Mortimer House is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site consists of a circular or sub-circular arrangement of stones forming a ring cairn, a monument type characteristic of the Bronze Age period, typically dating between approximately 2500 and 1500 BCE. Ring cairns served as burial monuments or ceremonial structures and are found throughout upland regions of northern England, where they represent significant evidence of Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns. The monument's survival as a recorded archaeological site, as evidenced by its inclusion in the National Heritage List for England, reflects its importance for understanding prehistoric land use and ritual behaviour in Yorkshire.
