Rough Crag is a prehistoric cairnfield located in Cumberland, approximately one kilometre east-north-east of Woodend Bridge, comprising multiple burial monuments from the Bronze Age. The site consists of a funerary cairn, characteristic of Bronze Age mortuary practice, alongside a linear boundary feature that may relate to contemporary land organisation or division. The cairnfield demonstrates the pattern of ritual and domestic land use typical of upland Bronze Age communities in the Lake District region. The monuments are preserved as earthwork remains that continue to contribute to understanding of prehistoric settlement hierarchy and funerary customs in northern England.
