Round cairn 515m south east of White Raise round cairn, Askham Fell is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on the moorland of Westmorland in the English Lake District. The cairn survives as a substantial earthwork mound constructed principally of stone, characteristic of funerary monuments erected during the second millennium before Christ. It forms part of a wider cairn cemetery on Askham Fell, a landscape rich in prehistoric remains that reflects the Bronze Age use of upland areas for burial purposes. The monument's survival as an upstanding feature attests to the enduring presence of these funerary structures across the Westmorland moorlands.
