Round cairn 300m west of Lyvennet Beck is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland in the English Lake District. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a burial monument, typical of the Bronze Age period when such structures served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains. Its survival in the upland landscape of the region reflects the sparse settlement and land use patterns of prehistoric Westmorland, where cairns and related monuments are scattered across moorland and marginal agricultural terrain. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains an important record of Bronze Age burial practice and the archaeological heritage of the northwest Pennine region.
