Ring cairn on Goldsborough is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Cotherstone Moor in northern England. The structure consists of a circular arrangement of stones characteristic of ring cairns from the second millennium BCE, a monument type commonly associated with burial practices and ritual activity of the Bronze Age period. Ring cairns of this type typically comprise a ring of stones surrounding a central area, though the specific construction details and condition of this particular example would require archaeological survey to fully establish. The monument's location on the open moorland of Cotherstone reflects the Bronze Age preference for upland burial sites in northern England.
