Ring cairn and adjacent round cairn on Low Moor, 460m NNW of High Eskeleth is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising two distinct cairn structures located on the moorland of Yorkshire. The ring cairn consists of a circular arrangement of stones forming a defined perimeter, characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices, whilst the adjacent round cairn represents a more conventional mounded cairn form typical of the same period. Both monuments reflect the ritual and commemorative practices of Bronze Age communities in northern England, with their moorland setting consistent with the upland burial patterns evident across the Pennines and surrounding regions. The site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary behaviour in Yorkshire.
