Ring cairn on Lealholm Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The structure comprises a circular cairn of stones with a distinctive central hollow or depression, characteristic of ring cairn monuments that were constructed during the Bronze Age as burial or ceremonial structures. The site's location on the upland moorland is typical of prehistoric burial monuments in this region, which cluster in areas of open ground affording views across the landscape. The monument survives as a substantial earthwork and remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the North York Moors.
