Round cairn on Pexton Moor, 150m north east of Pexton Moor Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument consisting of a circular mound constructed from stone. The cairn represents a funerary practice common across the upland regions of Yorkshire during the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as prominent landscape features marking the burial of deceased individuals or families. The site's location on the open moorland is typical of Bronze Age cairn placement, where visibility and accessibility would have been important considerations for these communal or lineage markers. As a scheduled monument, the cairn remains significant for understanding prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire uplands.
