Little Round Table is a Neolithic henge monument located in Westmorland, in the north-west of England. The site consists of a circular earthwork defined by a ditch and external bank, characteristic of henges constructed during the later Neolithic period, approximately 3000 to 2000 BCE. The monument measures approximately 100 metres in diameter and occupies a prominent position in the landscape. Like other henges of its type, Little Round Table likely served ceremonial or ritual purposes, though the precise nature of its use remains subject to archaeological interpretation.
