Ring cairn known as the Ring of Stones on Ringstone Edge Moor is a Bronze Age ceremonial or burial monument situated on moorland in Yorkshire. The site consists of a roughly circular arrangement of stones that forms a cairn, typical of funerary or ritual monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such ring cairns served important functions within prehistoric communities, whether as burial chambers, territorial markers, or places of ritual significance. The monument's location on Ringstone Edge Moor, at approximately 800 metres south of Upper Gosling Royd, places it within a landscape that contains other contemporary Bronze Age monuments, reflecting the ritual and burial practices of Yorkshire's prehistoric inhabitants.
