Stainton Fell Long Cairn is a Neolithic funerary monument located in the upland landscape of Cumberland in north-western England. The structure comprises a substantial earthen and stone mound constructed during the Neolithic period, representing a form of communal burial practice characteristic of early farming communities in Britain. Long cairns of this type typically served as repositories for the collective dead and often contained internal chamber structures, though specific architectural details of this monument require direct archaeological investigation for confirmation. The site's location on Stainton Fell reflects the utilisation of moorland and upland terrain for ritual and burial purposes during the early prehistoric period.
