Round cairn 30m east of Wicker Street Roman Road is a prehistoric burial monument located in Westmorland, England. The cairn represents a funerary tradition characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, when such stone-built mounds served as communal or individual burial sites across the upland regions of northern England. The monument's proximity to the Roman road known as Wicker Street indicates it predates the Roman infrastructure by many centuries, establishing its Bronze Age or earlier origins. As a designated heritage monument, it survives as an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement and burial practices in the Lake District uplands.
