Round barrow 200yds (180m) NE of Hell Gill Howe is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Westmorland, in the English Lake District region. The monument consists of an earthen mound constructed during the Bronze Age period, characteristic of the funerary practices of communities in upland areas during this era. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods that reflected the status or ritual observance of the deceased. This example forms part of the broader Bronze Age barrow landscape of the Westmorland fells, contributing to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and burial traditions in northern England.
