Round cairn 450m north-east of Mazon Wath is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, England. The site consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a funerary structure, typical of cairn burials dating to the second millennium BC. Such monuments are characteristic of upland Bronze Age practice in the Lake District and Pennine regions, where stone cairns served as markers for high-status burials and territorial focal points within the landscape. The cairn survives as an archaeological record of prehistoric mortuary practice and settlement patterns in northern England.
