Large irregular stone circle and a round cairn on Dean Moor is a Bronze Age monument located on Dean Moor in Cumberland, England. The site comprises two distinct elements: a substantial stone circle of irregular form and an associated round cairn, both characteristic of funerary and ceremonial practices in the Bronze Age period. The irregular arrangement of the stones suggests a date within the Bronze Age, when such monuments served important ritual and commemorative functions for local communities. The cairn represents the burial component typical of Bronze Age funerary sites, often constructed in elevated moorland locations across northern England.
