The Two adjacent ring cairns on Riddings Rigg, Reeth Low Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the Yorkshire moorlands. The site consists of two circular stone cairns constructed in close proximity to one another, typical of the burial practices evident across the upland regions of northern England during the Bronze Age period. Ring cairns of this form functioned as cremation or inhumation burials, often incorporating central burial deposits surrounded by stone rings that served both practical and ceremonial purposes. The monument's survival on the exposed moorland landscape provides evidence of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity in this region, contributing to understanding of Bronze Age funerary traditions in the northern Pennines.
