Ring cairn on Eston Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising a circular mound of stones surrounded by a defined kerb or ring. Located 1.3 kilometres north of Mill Farm in Yorkshire, the structure represents a characteristic example of the cairn-building traditions that prevailed in northern England during the Bronze Age, when such monuments served as burial places for communities inhabiting the moorland landscape. The ring cairn form, distinguished by its circular arrangement of stones with a central burial area, reflects the ritual and commemorative practices of its period. The monument has been recorded and designated under the National Heritage List for England as a site of archaeological significance owing to its contribution to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary customs in the region.
