Round cairn 180m east of Rydal Beck is a Bronze Age burial monument situated in Westmorland in the Lake District region of north-western England. The cairn survives as a roughly circular mound of stones, constructed during the later prehistoric period as a sepulchral monument for elite members of contemporary communities. Such cairns typically contained burials, sometimes accompanied by grave goods, and served as enduring territorial and ancestral markers within the landscape. The site's location in the upland terrain of Westmorland reflects the Bronze Age use of higher ground for funerary purposes across northern England.
