Round cairn 515m south east of White Raise round cairn, Askham Fell is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the upland terrain of Westmorland. The cairn forms part of a wider landscape of prehistoric burial structures distributed across Askham Fell, an area rich in evidence of early metalworking communities. Like other round cairns of its period, it would have functioned as a ceremonial burial site and territorial marker within the Bronze Age settlement pattern.
