Ring cairn on Kail Hill 380m north east of High Woodhouse is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument situated on moorland in Yorkshire. The structure comprises a circular cairn of stones with a distinctive ring-ditch or kerb arrangement, a form characteristic of burial monuments from the prehistoric period.
