Askham Fell stone alignment is a Neolithic or Bronze Age monument located in Westmorland, comprising a linear arrangement of standing stones on the fell landscape. The alignment consists of several stones set in a deliberate pattern, reflecting prehistoric ritual or territorial practices common to upland areas of northern England during these periods. Such alignments are interpreted by archaeologists as having served ceremonial, astronomical, or boundary-marking functions within Neolithic and Bronze Age communities. The monument remains significant as evidence of early settlement and land use in the Lake District region and contributes to understanding prehistoric stone arrangements in the north of England.
