Round cairn 280m south-east of The Cockpit stone circle is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland, England. The cairn represents a characteristic burial structure of the second and early first millennia BC, a period when such stone mounds served as prominent markers for elite or communal interments across the upland regions of northern England. The monument's proximity to the Cockpit stone circle, itself a ritual landscape feature, suggests this area held sustained ceremonial and funerary significance during prehistoric times. As a scheduled ancient monument, the cairn remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the Pennine uplands.
