Two round cairns on Newton Moor, 850m north east of Summer Hill Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site consists of two circular stone cairns typical of burial monuments constructed during the Bronze Age, when such structures served as prominent landscape markers and repositories for the deceased. The cairns' survival on Newton Moor demonstrates the persistence of these monuments across the upland terrain of northern England, where Bronze Age communities established their burial practices. As a scheduled monument, the site retains archaeological significance for understanding Bronze Age mortuary customs and settlement patterns in Yorkshire.
