Ring cairn 350m east of Haythwaite, Barningham Moor, is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on the moorland of the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a circular cairn surrounded by a distinct ring ditch, a characteristic feature of Bronze Age funerary sites in northern England. The structure represents the material remains of prehistoric ritual practice and burial custom typical of the second millennium BC, when such cairns served as repositories for cremated and inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods. The site's survival on open moorland has preserved its archaeological integrity, making it an important example of Bronze Age monumental architecture in the region.
