Ring cairn east of Threepow Raise is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland in the English Lake District. The site consists of a circular cairn with a distinctive central ring formation, characteristic of ring cairns from the second millennium BCE. Such monuments typically served as communal or individual burial structures, reflecting the funerary practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in upland northern England. The survival of this cairn, despite the challenging moorland environment, provides archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity in the region.
