Round cairn 600m south-east of Gaythorne Cottages is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, England. The site consists of a circular mound constructed from stone, typical of cairn construction practised across the upland regions of northern England during the prehistoric period. Such monuments served as burial places for individuals or small communities and reflect the funerary practices and social organisation of their time. The cairn's survival into the modern period, despite the demands of upland agriculture and landscape management, demonstrates its archaeological importance as evidence of early settlement and ritual activity in the Lake District fell country.
