Ring cairn at Cogden Gill is a Bronze Age ceremonial or funerary monument situated on moorland southeast of Grinton Lodge in Yorkshire. The structure consists of a circular arrangement of stones forming a ring, typical of Bronze Age cairn construction practices in upland areas of northern England. Such monuments are generally interpreted as burial sites or ritual centres dating to the period between approximately 2200 and 700 BCE, though precise dating for individual examples often remains uncertain without archaeological excavation. The ring cairn represents an important example of prehistoric settlement and ritual practice in the Yorkshire moorlands, contributing to understanding of Bronze Age communities in this region.
