Round cairn on Pinchinthorpe Moor, 530m south of Hanging Stone is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The cairn comprises a circular mound of stone, characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice in upland northern England, and represents the funerary traditions of the second millennium BCE. Such monuments were constructed as territorial markers and burial chambers for the cremated or inhumed remains of prominent individuals and their communities. The cairn's survival on the moorland landscape, alongside other contemporary monuments in the vicinity, provides evidence of sustained Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in this region of Yorkshire.
