Round barrow 1/4 mile (400m) N of Wharton Hall is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, England. The barrow represents a typical example of prehistoric funerary practice in the Lake District region, constructed during the Bronze Age period when such earthen mounds were raised over individual or collective interments. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork in the landscape, though like many such barrows it has been subject to centuries of weathering and agricultural activity. As a scheduled ancient monument, it forms part of the significant Bronze Age archaeological heritage of the area, contributing to understanding of settlement patterns and burial practices in prehistoric northern England.
