Round cairn 450m south-east of Castle Folds is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland, England. The structure comprises a roughly circular mound of stones constructed during the second millennium before Christ, typical of burial practices prevalent in prehistoric upland regions of northern England. Such cairns served as monuments to the dead and often contained cist burials or cremated remains, though the specific internal arrangements at this site would require archaeological investigation to confirm. The monument survives as a landscape feature indicative of Bronze Age settlement and ritual practice in the Westmorland uplands.
