Round cairn on east flank of Baildon Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located on the moorland slopes of Baildon Hill in West Yorkshire. The cairn consists of a roughly circular mound of stones characteristic of upland burial practices in northern England during the prehistoric period. Its position on the east-facing slope of the hill suggests deliberate siting within the wider Bronze Age ceremonial landscape of the Pennines, though the absence of excavation records limits detailed understanding of its internal structure and precise dating. The monument represents an important example of funerary architecture from the second or third millennium BC and contributes to the archaeological record of ritual practice in the Yorkshire uplands.
