Ring cairn and adjacent round cairn on Low Moor, 460m NNW of High Eskeleth is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument situated on moorland in Yorkshire. The site comprises two distinct cairn structures: a ring cairn, which consists of a circular arrangement of stones with a hollow or open centre, and an adjacent round cairn representing a more conventional burial mound form. Both monuments are characteristic of upland burial practices in northern England during the later prehistoric period, reflecting changing traditions in funerary architecture and monument construction. The site's moorland location and archaeological character indicate its significance as evidence for settlement patterns and ritual practices in the Bronze Age landscape of the northern Pennines.
