Round cairn 50m north east of White Raise round cairn, Askham Fell is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, in the English Lake District uplands. The cairn forms part of a Bronze Age funerary landscape on Askham Fell, situated in close proximity to the better-known White Raise monument, suggesting concentrated burial activity in this upland area during the second millennium BC. Like other cairns of this period, it would have functioned as a communal or individual burial mound constructed from stone gathered from the surrounding moorland. The site remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Pennine and Lake District regions.
