This Bronze-Age ring cairn can be found on the Burley Moor area of Rombalds Moor (West Yorkshire, England), approximately 90 metres SE of the Great Skirtful of Stones.
It has a diameter of approximately 27 metres with the circular stone built bank reaching a width of 2 metres and a height around 0.5 metres. The banking is less distinct on the N side, probably a result of stone robbing. There are two breaks in the bank, one towards the SE and the other NW. If you stand centrally within the cairn, these breaks appear to line up with the centre of the Great Skirtful of Stones which looms over the monument to the NW.
On the eastern and western sides of the cairn are two tracks which can be seen as linear depressions. A pit within in the monuments centre may indicate a past excavation.
