Ring cairn on Askew Rigg is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in the upland landscape of North Yorkshire. The site consists of a circular arrangement of stones forming a ring cairn, a burial structure characteristic of the Bronze Age period, typically dating to between 2000 and 1000 BCE. Such monuments served as communal or individual burial places and are particularly common in the upland areas of northern England, where they form part of extensive cemetery landscapes. The ring cairn's position at 880 metres south-east of Hartoft Bridge places it within a significant concentration of prehistoric ritual and funerary monuments in this region.
