Hollin Stump round cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located in Westmorland in the English Lake District region. The site consists of a circular cairn of stacked stones, typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in northern England, and likely dates to the second millennium BCE. Round cairns of this type served as communal or individual burial monuments and often contained inhumed or cremated human remains, though the specific contents of Hollin Stump have not been fully documented in accessible records. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and stone structure, representing an important example of the Bronze Age ceremonial landscape of the Westmorland uplands.
