Round cairn 275m south east of High Wath Ford is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cumberland, England. The site consists of a circular mound of stone rubble characteristic of cairn construction from the second millennium BC, representing a funerary tradition widespread across upland northern Britain during this period. Such monuments typically contained cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods, though the specific contents and condition of this particular cairn are not well documented in the accessible scholarly record. The survival of the monument, despite the long interval since its construction, attests to its location in relatively remote upland terrain where later intensive land use has been limited.
