Two cairns on Hawksworth Moor is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises two earthen cairns, one of which contains an internal stone cist, indicative of burial practices typical of the prehistoric period when such monuments served as communal or individual sepulchral structures. These cairns represent evidence of early human settlement and ritual activity in the moorland landscape of Yorkshire, and their survival provides archaeological insight into the funerary customs and monumental construction techniques of northern British prehistoric populations.
