Three cairns on Ravock is an ancient funerary monument comprising three stone cairns located on Bowes Moor in Yorkshire. The cairns date to the Bronze Age and represent typical examples of burial structures erected across northern England during the second millennium BC. These monuments, situated approximately 830 metres north-east of Ravock Castle, consist of heaps of stone constructed over inhumed or cremated remains, evidence of ritual practices associated with elite or community burials of their period. The cairns survive as earthwork features on the moorland landscape, retaining archaeological significance as indicators of Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns in the Pennine uplands.
