The two round cairns on Newton Moor, located 850 metres north-east of Summer Hill Farm in Yorkshire, are Bronze Age funerary monuments. These cairns represent the burial practices characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen or stone mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or small family groups. The monuments survive as substantial earthworks on the open moorland, testament to their construction from accumulated stone or earth. Their presence on Newton Moor contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the Pennine upland landscape of Yorkshire.
