Round cairn 275m south east of High Wath Ford is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cumberland, England. The structure comprises a circular mound of stone and earth constructed as a burial marker, typical of the cairn-building tradition prevalent across northern Britain during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments served to commemorate and inter the dead, often containing cremated or inhumed remains within a central chamber or burial pit. The cairn's survival into the modern period provides archaeological evidence of settlement and funerary practices in the upland regions of northwestern England during prehistory.
