Round cairn 285m south east of White Raise round cairn, Askham Fell, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland. The cairn survives as a circular stone mound, characteristic of the burial traditions practised across the upland regions of northern England during the second millennium BC. Its proximity to the White Raise round cairn indicates that this area of Askham Fell formed part of a Bronze Age cairn cemetery, a settlement pattern reflecting the ritualistic and territorial significance of such high moorland locations. The monument contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age funerary practices and land use in the Lake District uplands.
