The two cairns on Hawksworth Moor are Bronze Age funerary monuments located in Yorkshire, England. One of the cairns contains an internal stone cist, a feature typical of Bronze Age burial practice in northern Britain, indicating its use as a cremation or inhumation burial monument. These structures represent the archaeological evidence of ritual and funerary customs practised during the Bronze Age on the upland moorland of Yorkshire. The survival of the cist within one cairn provides valuable archaeological information about burial practices and monument construction during this prehistoric period.
