Ring cairn on Fremington Edge is an ancient burial monument consisting of a circular arrangement of stones surrounding a central depression or burial chamber. Located on elevated moorland in North Yorkshire, approximately 650 metres north-east of White House, the site dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of funerary architecture typical of the second millennium BC. The ring cairn form, distinguished by its circular stone construction rather than a solid mound, reflects regional burial practices of upland Yorkshire during the prehistoric period. As a scheduled monument, the site preserves evidence of Bronze Age funerary ritual and demonstrates the continued use of moorland areas for burial purposes during the early metal-working period.
